Get Involved
The concept of many loving hands coming together to support women is one which Elizabeth House adopted over 20 years ago. For at-risk women who have chosen to parent and who also need a safe place to live, our home provides shelter, love, guidance and the beginnings of a vital support system.
As a small but mighty program, Elizabeth House also acts as the conduit to a myriad of community resources and programming geared towards helping our families get off to the best start possible and work towards sustainable independence.
We invite you to join us in strengthening our family in the capacity that best suits your needs and abilities. Volunteer, donate, or partner with us. Together, we can help transform lives two generations at a time!
Volunteer
We are always looking for compassionate volunteers to join our extended family and to help further enrich our home and program offerings.
It doesn't take something remarkable to touch a life either; at times it can be as simple as an hour of your time, a listening ear, a kind word, or sharing something that you enjoy that makes a difference.
At Elizabeth House we believe that anyone can achieve success given the proper support system. Whether you can volunteer once a week, once a month, or once a year, we want to hear from you!
Opportunites are available in childcare, meal mentoring, life skills training, special events and more!
