Safe House Support Aides are trained volunteers who provide a variety of assistance needed to support the operations of our Safe House. Aides are critical in: - identifying maintenance needs, - assessing, taking inventory and purchasing required items such as food supplies, - performing weekly room checks with staff, - sorting and storing donations, - meet with survivors regarding requests for clothing, linens and toiletries, - providing staff coverage during mandated breaks, and - maintaining and organizing files. Safe House Support Aides will volunteer on a flexible schedule, during which they must be available to support survivors at the Safe House location.
