House of Hope is tremendously thankful for the support of community members who donate their time and talents to serve the women and children in our treatment programs. Without you, our mission of reunifying families and healing substance use disorders would not be possible.
Dedicating your time to service doesn’t just help our clients—it helps you, too! Studies have shown an overall improvement in mental health and life satisfaction for those who regularly volunteer in their community. Additionally, those who dedicate a portion of their time to volunteering are more likely to gain valuable life skills and interpersonal relationships.
For the summer months we have the following projects below that would benefit with volunteers.
To qualify for court-mandated community service hours, volunteers must be current enrolled clients of House of Hope.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with House of Hope!
We have 6 facilities that all have a yard. The yardwork entails weed pulling, flower planting, raking leaves, etc. We ask that you bring your own yard gloves, each house has 2 supplies (rakes, shovels, etc) per house, but if you have more volunteers than that your own supplies would need to be brought with you. If you are wanting to do flowers and want to donate flowers, we ask that you bring them, but if you do not want to donate the flowers we can supply them! This is a seasonal option in Spring and Summer.
We have two options for welcome backpacks! There is a welcome backpack for women, or a welcome backpack for children.
The welcome backpack for women doubles as a purse, backpack or even a diaper bag throughout treatment. All items inside must be full size (please no travel size). Any backpack is doable for this purpose. Inside of the welcome backpack we ask for full size shampoos and conditioners, full size lotions, full size soap or bodywash, full size deodorants, disposable shaving razors, 3-5 feminine hygiene pads, a toothbrush, full size toothpaste, a comb or a brush, elastics for ponytails, full size bath towel, washcloths, laundry bag, pens, spiral bound notebook, and an anonymous letter of encouragement and caring (non-denominational words please!) in an unsealed envelope. Optional items for the backpack can include a planner, dental floss, and lip balm.
The welcome backpack for children aged (2-7) we ask for a smaller backpack or a totebag, children’s toothbrush, children’s toothpaste, baby or kid shampoo, body wash for kids, lotion, story book or picture book, small stuffed animal, optional ideas would be bubble bath, crayons, washcloths.
Newborn to 1 year we ask for wipes, bottle or sippy cup, bottle brush, baby shampoo, baby lotion, baby body wash, baby toy or teething ring, crib sheets, and optional options could be diaper rash ointment, soft book, washcloths.

As long as they are non-denominational, they should be fine. We just ask that you leave the envelopes unsealed.
House of Hope gave me the strength and showed me the way to succeed and how to be the best I can be, not only that but to be the best mom to my kids and to hold myself accountable. I would be lost without their help.
Every donation we receive goes right back into the program, fostering more empowering recovery opportunities for women and their little ones. Together, we can make a lasting impact that will change lives and restore hope in the weary hearts of struggling women and children across the state.
