Volunteer With Us

Your time, talents, and compassion can make a lasting difference in the lives of women rebuilding their futures.

Whether you're working directly with residents or supporting our mission behind the scenes, there's a place for you at Her Safe Haven.

Volunteer Spotlight & Testimonial

Once the home opened to survivors in September 2023, Sue and Ross were eager to begin serving directly with the women. The first activity was cooking lunch with the women once a month and it’s a tradition that continues to this day. What started as a practical need of the women to learn basic life skills has grown into a meaningful fellowship activity that has strengthened bonds within the house and helped set the tone for the Christ-serving culture of the organization. The residents often assist Ross to prepare the meals according to a recipe of their choice, while Sue naturally takes on the role of engaging, listening, and building relationships with the residents.
