Join us for Shelter Improvement Day as we refresh and care for the physical space that provides safety to survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual violence.
Volunteers will help beautify and maintain our shelter property so it remains a welcoming, dignified, and peaceful environment for survivors and their children.
This is a meaningful, hands-on opportunity to make an immediate impact — no direct client interaction required.
Volunteer Tasks May Include:
- Weeding and revitalizing garden beds
- Planting seasonal flowers or refreshing the soil
- Washing exterior windows
- Power washing portions of the shelter exterior
- Light outdoor cleanup and general beautification
- Tasks will be assigned based on comfort level and physical ability.
Due to the confidential nature of our work:
- The shelter location will be shared only with confirmed volunteers.
- All volunteers are required to sign a confidentiality agreement upon arrival.
- Admission to the shelter property is at the discretion of The Haven staff.
- This opportunity involves moderate physical activity (standing, bending, lifting).
This is an outdoor, hands-on workday. Please come prepared by wearing/bringing:
- Closed-toe shoes (sneakers or work boots required)
- Comfortable clothing suitable for bending, lifting, and getting dirty
- Weather-appropriate layers
- Hat and/or sunglasses (if sunny)
- Water
- Work gloves
- Sunscreen
- Any preferred personal gardening tools (optional)
All major supplies , equipment (including power washing materials), and lunch will be provided.
