Volunteers List

Volunteers are the backbone of our program. Volunteers help by making connections for guests between the shelter and the community, by positive role modeling, and by assisting staff.

Volunteers are needed for these projects:

  • New locks installed at Transitional Living Center and Site 1
  • Bathroom floor and ceiling repair at Site 1
  • Staff relief
  • Organizing donations
  • Locks at Site 1 office and House Manager's apartment. These locks are mechanical numeric locks. They require drilling one additional hole for each lock.

We need your continued help and involvement in this important ministry. We hope you will recommend HHCS as a great place to volunteer and a place that each person can make a difference. If you would like volunteer information or have questions, please contact Kelly Isaacson at 715-394-9608.
