Volunteering

Although the reward for service is always the service itself, joining our team can bring you even more.

• Know that you made a difference.
• Be a positive influence in another person's life.
• Give back to your community.
• Develop new friendships.
• Have fun!

We are grateful for your help! Sheltering Wings has many volunteer opportunities for individuals or groups who want to help victims of domestic abuse. Your gift of time and talent helps us provide needed services. With your help the ability to give hope and healing to our community is limitless.
