Each year, over 2000 volunteers participate in providing life-changing services to homeless youth at the Providence House. We would love to have you join our family!

Volunteer Opportunities for Groups:

Groups require a team leader who will meet with our volunteer coordinator prior to the event. All group members will be oriented the day of the event. Limits on the size of a group will be determined by the volunteer activity.

Serve a Meal: Serve a special meal to the Providence House families.

Volunteer Opportunities for the Community:

Drives that collect items for homeless youth are a great way to build community spirit in your office or on your school campus. All you need is a barrel or box and a little publicity. We will supply The Providence House literature for you to hand out and arrange for your group to tour the center. Collected items must be delivered to The Providence House. All donations are tax deductible.

Shoe Drive: Improper footwear is often the cause of serious health problems and a barrier to employment. Our greatest need is sturdy, children’s shoes.

Clothing & Hygiene Supply Drive: Every day our youth need clean, casual clothing to help build their self-esteem and their ability to achieve their goals. Our greatest need are sizes XL and up and children’s casual clothing.

Canned Food Drive: Last year over 80 homeless youth moved off the streets. As they struggle to make ends meet, we help them by providing canned items and other non-perishable food such as tuna fish, soup, peanut butter and bottled water.

Gift Drive: For a variety of holidays, we give every homeless youth a new gift. An extensive wish list can be provided and includes: gift certificates for food, clothing or movies, backpacks & blankets, and CDs.

Educational and Recreational Supply Drive: We offer a variety of educational and recreational activities. We are in need of school supplies, art supplies, DVDs (rated PG-13 or lower), and board games.
