More than 3500 women call our 24-hour Hotline every year.

Volunteer

House of Ruth is grateful to our many volunteers who are indispensable to our ability to fully serve our families. During 2009-10, 86 volunteers completed our basic training course required for anyone who has direct contact with clients. These volunteers perform a wide variety of services to support our clients, such as answering our 24-hour hotline, assisting clients in our Temporary Restraining Order Clinic, helping in the Shelter’s children’s program, providing childcare or supervising children on outings, providing transportation for Shelter clients, and making community education presentations and advocating for domestic violence victims within the greater community at public events.

There are also many opportunities to help House of Ruth that do not require training. Here are just a few ideas:

Sponsor a fundraising drive to collect items from our wish list;
Hold a bake sale, garage sale or movie night at your home, place of worship or local center to raise funds for victims of domestic violence;
Volunteer your professional skills on one of our board committees or in the office.

We welcome support from youth groups and community service project volunteers.
