Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are vital in supporting the work of Dwelling Place. Our volunteer programming incorporates many ways volunteers can work alongside us. We embrace both those looking for a one-time opportunity to long-time engagement. We are grateful for community members, residents, and organizations who step up to help forward our mission because Everyone Deserves a Dwelling Place.

Collection Drives
You can support our collection drives by building Welcome Home Baskets for new residents and maintaining our inventory of bus passes and other items.

Event Support
Event support volunteers help run resident events, work neighborhood clean-ups, tabling and fundraising. This is a fun way to learn about our mission!

Property Days
Property Days are an opportunity for volunteers to work alongside Dwelling Place residents and staff to improve a property through landscaping, community art, maintenance and construction projects. Great for groups!
