Volunteer: We Need You!

You are here: Home1 / Volunteer: We Need You!

For 32 years, Human Solutions has been working with people in our community to overcome barriers to housing and economic security and justice, many of them structural. While in very different and rapidly changing circumstances, we continue this work today. Some of our programs are operating differently, but they’re all operating. And to meet our community’s growing and expanding needs, we depend on volunteers – like you!

Here’s what we need now:

  • Sew masks for our affordable housing and shelter residents to wear.
  • Donate needed items by shopping our Amazon Wishlists – just click & ship (see options & links  below)!
  • Cook and deliver a hot dinner or sack lunch for shelter residents.
  • Host a winter outer wear drive for shelter residents or a canned food drive for our shelters. Download the flyers (winter gear & canned food) to share wirth friends!
  • Contribute funds – it’s what’s makes our work possible.
  • Sponsor a “Welcome Home Kit” for families just moving into housing.
  • Learn more, share ideas and sign up by contacting Shawna, our shelter volunteer & donations coordinator: volunteer@humansolutions.org or 503.278.1637.

Can you help? We look forward to hearing from you soon. In the meantime, stay healthy (and stay home if you can!).

Thank you for sending us the items we need to run our programs! Our program teams create these lists based on current needs, so you can rest assured they will be put to good use. Find the program that resonates most with you:

Thank you! We appreciate you sending us what we need. A package puts a smile on everyone’s faces 🙂
