VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

WHERE YOU COME IN Shelterhouse exists to provide refuge, hope, and healing for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault of every gender and generation. The only way we are going to help survivors heal as individuals and heal as an entire community is to address both as a community. Whether you choose to join us on a weekly basis or for a one-time opportunity, there are multiple volunteer opportunities available at Shelterhouse! When you volunteer, you give back to your community in more ways than you could imagine. See which option best matches your passion, skills and interests and then start the process online at Shelterhousemidland.org/volunteer.

OPPORTUNITIES HELP WITH BUILDING MAINTENANCE Our new facility on Waldo is trauma-informed, beautiful, and provides a safe and welcoming space for survivors seeking emergency shelter.

Long-term commitment

CREATE A FRESH START KIT Help a survivor and their children take their first steps as they begin a “Fresh Start” with a Fresh Start Kit! By building a box full of all the things needed to make oneself feel at home, from cleaning to comfort items, you can help spark the feeling of home for children, teens and parents alike. Create your Fresh Start Kit(s) by yourself or as a group, and then schedule a drop-off.

GENERAL STORE VOLUNTEER Shelterhouse has a General Store, located in Shelterhouse’s Midland location. It is filled with items such as blankets, personal care items, and cleaning supplies. Additionally, food is available for non-residential clients in the General Store – perishable items are in the refrigerator/freezer located within the General Store. Volunteer to help keep the General Store in tip-top shape for our survivors.
