Volunteer

Volunteers founded Center for Hope & Safety (formerly Shelter Our Sisters) over 40 years ago and play a vital role in caring for those affected by domestic violence. 

Event Help on March 29

Our biggest fundraiser of the year, Evening of Hope, is on Wednesday, March 29. We expect over 175 attendees, so we need volunteers to help with various tasks throughout the night to make the event go smoothly.
