VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteers are at the heart of the Santé South Wine & Food Festival. From welcoming guests to supporting wineries, restaurants, and event operations, our volunteers help create an unforgettable experience while supporting The MIND Center's mission to advance Alzheimer's and dementia care, education, support services, and research across Mississippi.
