Historically, less than ten percent of the budget goes to administrative costs. The Shelter is not state or nationally supported, and depends on contributions from individuals, civic groups, churches, and synogogues for the majority of its funding. Its Goals Volunteers are always needed to run errands, answer phones, mow the grass and so on. These are the tasks that hold the Women's Shelter together, day to day. Health professionals, especially nurse practitioners and licensed counselors, are needed to donate their services to the health screening clinic.
Holidays are especially difficult times for the residents of the shelter.
Many of the women are separated from their children and other loved ones, and special help from volunteers around holidays like Valentine's Day or Mother's Day would be a great help. Participating in the Souper promotes greater understanding of hunger and homelessness. Please contact the shelter for more information.
