Donations, Grants and Volunteers

Would you like the satisfaction of helping us help others?

e are only able to exist because individuals like you want to help --- with donations of funds, time, goods, or a combination of all three. Following are some specific areas of funding, goods, and time in which we could use assistance.  If you can help us in one of these areas, please contact us.  

   Donate Funds:

  • Become one of our growing group of monthly pledge donors.  Reliable monthly donations are critically important, as they allow us to meet our month-to-month expenses more easily.  We receive monthly donations of $10, $20, 25, $50, $100 and more, depending on a donor's financial abilities and inclinations.  Won't you please consider becoming a monthly pledge donor?

   Volunteer Your Time (all volunteers must complete an application and pass a background check):

  • Be a volunteer Driver.  We need volunteers to take the girls to doctor appointments, court appointments, etc.
  • Be our on-call Handyperson, someone who would be available to help with home maintenance issues.
  • Be our Yard Maintenance volunteer, someone who could mow the lawn, rake the leaves and do general yard maintenance.  You would need to provide your own tools.
  • Be a School Tutor!  Help tutor the girls as they re-enter the school scene.  Knowledge and patience are the only requirements.
  • Assist us with Data Entry.  Do you have computer skills that could help us?
  • Assist on our Event Committee.  Do you have a talent for decorating?  Do you like to plan events, or do you prefer to leave the planning to others and help with the smaller details?  Either way, we could use your enthusiasm.

   Donate Goods:

  • Gift cards (for incentive awards) to Ross, WalMart, Target
  • Gift certificates for clothing & hair cuts
  • Disposable cameras with prepaid film development
  • Digital cameras
  • Household goods are always needed (disposable diapers, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, personal toiletries)

Contact us if one of these areas appeals to you and you would like to help.
