Do You Want to Help?




      Without the support of people like you, Taylor House wouldn't exist. How you help all depends on what you are comfortable with, what means the most to you.


Things You Can Do Where You Are:

  • Like our Facebook page and share the posts

  • Sign up for our newsletter and share it with others

  • Remember us in your personal prayers/religious rituals

  • Create a fundraiser

  • Call us up to request a speaker for your church/business/civic organization

  • Ask your congregation to include us in the prayers

  • Organize a study group on issues of homelessness

  • Make quilts, hats, mittens 

  • Remember us during Lenten study/programs

  • Sign up to be a Bellringer at Christmastime




Things You Can Do At The Shelter:

  • Help residents with online job and apartment searches/applications

  • Help with craft or gardening projects

  • Help a resident to write a resume

  • Give someone advice on improving credit and financial management

  • Clean

  • Organize and put away donations

  • Be a volunteer driver to take a resident for a drive, go to church services, etc.

  • Organize a special event at the shelter: movie night, Holiday celebrations, etc.

  • Run errands




If You Have Specialized Skills and/or Certifications We Need:

  • Someone fluent in Spanish to interpret for us 

  • Someone who can counsel people with mental illness/chemical dependency 

  • Someone to watch babies/small children while Mom is job hunting

 

Anything that has you in contact with residents will require us to do a background check and have you sign a confidentiality agreement.  

Many tasks are done on an “as needed” basis: If you are available to be put on a list and called on when a need arises, that would be greatly helpful!
