VOLUNTEER
WANT TO HELP CHANGE LIVES IN YOUR COMMUNITY?
HomeAgain has three emergency shelters providing housing to individuals, veterans and families. We appreciate our dedicated volunteers and their passion for ensuring our residents have a smooth transition into permanent housing. Our volunteer needs vary, so be sure to check back often! At this time, our general volunteer needs are as follows:
- Front Desk Assistants – Monday through Thursday evenings
- Enrichment Activities – Monday through Thursday evenings at Espigh Family Shelter
We want to ensure the best experience for both residents and volunteers at our shelters. Please be prepared to provide additional information depending on the nature of the desired volunteer role.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
WE WANT TO HELP TO AS MANY AS WE CAN
Life gives no guarantees. Sometimes, a physical or mental disability, coupled with life circumstances can permanently hinder a family from securing housing on their own.
YOUR SUPPORT WILL BRING MORE ENERGY
We love our volunteers! Your help will not only help to change the lives of others, but will bring new energy to our efforts!
WE WANT TO END HOMELESSNESS
Our client-centered services contribute to long-term housing stability.
AS A TEAM, WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING
With your help, we truly believe there is an end in sight for chronic homelessness in Richmond.
