How You Can Help

Many hands make light work no matter how large or small the task may be. Below are listed some of the ways we could use your support. Whether your gift is one of time and energy, financial support, or an in-kind donation, we thank you for taking part in the fight against homelessness.

Volunteer Opportunities

Avalon utilizes volunteers for special projects, as well as ongoing assistance. Following is a list of upcoming opportunities to join in the fight against homelessness.

Gardening Volunteers Needed!

The schedule for Gardening with Grace is ready, and we’re looking forward to seeing you there! Email Joan  if you’re interested, and she’ll give you the scoop. Green thumb or no green thumb we’d love to have you along. Volunteer for Gardening with Grace and you get to visit Avalon properties, meet cool people, and have fun! 

2007 Volunteer Statistics

More than 100 volunteers joined us in 2007 to work nearly 800 hours (782 to be exact!) painting, landscaping (prepping the beds, planting, weeding and mulching, along with trimming), helping with mailings and events (including pie-making!), and working on general repairs with our Maintenance Crew.

Thanks for all you do to help end homelessness in our community! We couldn’t do it without you.

If you have a group that would like to volunteer at Avalon, please call! We can work with you to create a mutually rewarding project.

For more information on volunteering, please contact Joan Bailey at (734) 663-5858.
