The Haven is so lucky to have such an amazing group of amazing volunteers who are committed to supporting the mission of The Haven. Either by donating their time or donating much-needed items, volunteers have a profound impact on our agency. Without the hard work of our team of volunteers, we wouldn't be able to provide a variety of services to individuals impacted by intimate partner violence and sexual violence.

After putting out a call to action for donations for our youth programming, several volunteers quickly gathered the items needed. Some of these items were used to give Valentine's Day gifts to the youths at the shelter. Volunteers from Transitions Adult Day Support assembled the valentines. The youths were extremely appreciative of the gifts and The Haven would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped.
If you would like to learn more about how to support the youth programming at The Haven please contact Brittany Clayborne at brittany.clayborne@havenshelter.org.

The Haven is in need of volunteers who are willing to assist in providing meals such as spaghetti, pizza, fried chicken, tacos, fries, chili, or other kid-friendly foods plus a veggie side dish for approximately 15 program participants on Monday evenings. (For example, food for 15 individuals could look like 2 large pans of spaghetti and a salad.)

The Haven is looking for more volunteers!
Volunteers are essential to accomplish our mission of preventing and eliminating all types of sexual and intimate partner violence within the Northern Neck and Essex County. The Haven could not provide free, vital services to individuals who have experienced violence without the hard work and effort of volunteers!
Not only do our volunteers assist us with completing everyday tasks such as childcare, shelter maintenance, data input, mailings, and processing donations, but their hours are used to meet match requirements of our state and federal grants. We could use more volunteers in the following areas:
- Sorting, tagging, and displaying donations at our Shoppe for Haven's Sake Thrift Store;
- Supporting community outreach and fundraising activities by tabling at either the Heathsville or Irvington Farmers Market;
- Helping us keep our shelter and administrative office clean and tidy;
- Engaging children from various backgrounds in fun and engaging crafts and activities.
To learn more about becoming a volunteer for The Haven or if you would like a representative of The Haven to talk to your organization about volunteer opportunities, contact Brittany Clayborne at 804-333-1099 or visit havenshelter.org/volunteer.
