Volunteer Day!
Join us on Saturday, September 21st from 9:00am – 11:00am for a family friendly volunteer day. We will be mulching, weeding, and planting, so please wear closed-toed shoes and an outfit you can get dirty! For any questions, email volunteer@ourhouseshelter.org.
Each year over 2,000 volunteers give their time and services to Our House, supporting our mission of empowering homeless and near-homeless individuals and families. Our House has a variety of volunteer opportunities for all group sizes with varying time commitments, working both behind the scenes of our programs or directly with clients. Volunteer opportunities are always available on our campus during the week. In addition, we have many special events on campus for one-time volunteers such as volunteer days, campus improvement projects, a Halloween carnival, fundraisers, and more. View all of our opportunities below and fill out the volunteer application to get started!
For all volunteer inquiries, contact the Volunteer Manager at volunteer@ourhouseshelter.org or 501-374-7383 ext. 184.
