* These specific volunteer opportunities require specialized training that HH will provide.
Many of our residents are without family or other relationships to support them, and many have never received cards or letters of encouragement. Especially in the early stages of recovery, when emotions and memories are beginning to return, women may be vulnerable to feelings of despair and loneliness. Then farther down the road, as they work hard to implement recovery steps and prepare for eventual graduation, fears of the unknown can be great.
These are the times a healing note, with words of encouragement, can be a great comfort.
There are many ways that your interest in Healing Housing and it’s participants can result in volunteering, but it’s helpful to know that most of them do not result in direct contact with our participants. This is primarily due to the confidential nature of our program, as well as the lack of time in schedules that are full of programming and other resources that make our program unique. If you do apply for one of the opportunities* that involve direct contact with our participants, training will be required.
Holiday Donations
We are so appreciative of the many people who wish to personally support our participants. We especially receive many requests during holiday times to provide food, gifts, and experiences. Due to limited space, time, and trauma surrounding holidays, we simply ask that you provide Walmart gift cards or gas cards to Healing Housing. This will result in an equitable and reasonable distribution of gifts, and any excess can be used throughout the year for needs that always arise.
Item Donations
We are currently not taking clothing or furniture donations at this time. Please reach out to Graceworks or Bridges Domestic Violence Center.
For any questions or if you need additional information, please reach out to Taylor Gurney, Healing Housing Marketing Director, at [email protected].
