You can help with food drives sponsored through AACH, or start one where you work or at your church. Finally, you can donate super market gift certificates that clients can use to buy their own food. Assistance is needed on weekdays, evenings and weekends. Major responsibilities include answering telephones, taking messages, directing calls to staff and clients, assisting with donations, light office work, greeting the general public, and more. On the weekends you can even operate the shelter for a couple of hours on your own.
Scheduling is flexible and training takes ONLY an hour.
About twice a week, on average, someone moves out of the Sullivan House. The majority of these individuals move to a house or an apartment within a 10-mile radius of the shelter. Unfortunately, many of our clients lack their own transportation and simply can not afford to rent a truck. You can assist us in helping these clients move. Normally these moves take place during the evening or on the weekends.
