SHELTER

There are many ways for volunteers to donate their time at the shelter. For example, Handyman services are always welcomed to help with repairs (both minor and major), painting and basic cleaning. Food and Donation Pantry volunteers are also needed to assist in stocking donation shelves and rotating food as well as, volunteers with vans or trucks to help with food pick-ups. Volunteering to help out in the office or baby-sit for moms at meeting is always greatly appreciated by the staff and clients at the shelter.
