Volunteering

New and Existing Volunteers
Volunteers and donors are the backbone of Freedom House. With your support, we can help provide opportunities and positive changes for the homeless population in Richmond. If you are interested in volunteering at The Conrad Center or The Community Shelter, please contact Christy Ellis at (804) 233-4064 ext. 209. To see available dates and additional information about volunteering at these programs, click on the schedules below. Please note, calendars are updated each Friday, so there may be a delay in groups being added to the calendars. As our programs expand at the new Conrad Center we will have additional volunteer opportunities. Contact Christy Ellis  to learn about volunteer opportunities that allow volunteers to work one-on-one with clients.

 Who typically volunteers with Freedom House?

Congregations
From the very beginning, Freedom House has relied on help from a large, diverse group of Richmond congregations. Today, nearly 95 different groups representing every denomination pitch in at Freedom House. Some cook and serve meals at The Conrad Center, while others provide dinner for residents at The Community Shelter.

Corporations
Richmond is home to many companies with big hearts. Company officials say volunteering helps build morale, develops employee loyalty, and creates a sense of community.

Individuals
Our most dedicated volunteers are individuals who want to make a difference. They take on a variety of jobs, from helping with special projects, organizing needs drives to collect needed items, to simply letting a resident know that someone cares. Individuals also help sell our pins and provide assistance with the 43rd Street Festival of the Arts fundraiser held every September. If you would like to get involved, please contact Christy Ellis at 233-4064 ext. 209.

Freedom House began selling the House and Women's pins in 1991. Last year we added many new styles of pins to sell as well as earrings.  They are uniquely designed and come in a variety of colors and styles.  This year we are adding some new items to sell!  More details to come!
