VOLUNTEERING

Supporting families in your own community.

We are fortunate to have volunteers supplement the efforts of the professional staff.
Our staff and Board of Directors extend our sincerest thanks for all the hard work these volunteers do!

We are always looking for more people to join our family of volunteers!

Groups can complete special projects that maintain a stable trauma-informed living environment for a family experiencing homelessness.

The Drake House and The Drake Closets have a variety of volunteer opportunities, including professional services,
office assistance, mentors, tutors, program speakers, youth group volunteers,
landscaping teams, store cashiers, inventory sorters, fundraisers, marketers, advocates, events volunteers and more!
