Volunteer Highlights

Our volunteers helped us to prepare and send out invitations for our Shamrock Soiree on Saturday, March 16th.

We are still looking for volunteers to help out for the event. Anyone interested should contact Brittany Clayborne at (804)333-1099 or brittany.clayborne@havenshelter.org.

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the students at St. Margaret's volunteered at our Shoppe for Haven's Sake Thrift Store for the MLK Day of Service.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'”

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

We have an amazing team of volunteers at our Shoppe for Haven's Sake Thrift Store!

Scrap gold and silver were collected by Cathy White and the Shoppe's employees to sell to Ross's Rings & Things for cash.

The 3 months of collection totaled $751 in extra income for the Thrift Shop.

It is through the caring donations of the community and volunteers like Cathy that we are able to raise money to provide services to the individuals impacted by sexual and intimate partner violence.

Community in Action

The Haven hosted a training workshop for members of the community to facilitate DO YOU, a program for youth that builds resilience through creative expression. This program gives the youth in our community the chance to use their voice and stand up for issues they believe in. By hosting this training workshop, we hope to get this program implemented in more areas within the community.

Participants included students from Rappahannock High school, Community Services Board (CSB) staff members, the owner of L.I.F.E. School of Arts, and other members of the community.

For more information on how to facilitate DO YOU in your community, please contact Chad Lewis at (804)333-1099 or chad.lewis@havenshelter.org.
