Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering is at the very core of being human.
No one has made it through life without someone else’s help.
— Heather French Henry
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
When you volunteer at Family Promise, you join a community of thousands who are providing support, hope, and stability to families experiencing a housing crisis. Volunteers have always played a huge role in the lives of the families we serve.
We cannot thank you enough for your time and commitment to
Family Promise Chicago North Shore.
Here are the volunteer opportunities:
Wish lists
Provide items for families currently in our shelter program or families moving into apartments. Please see our Amazon or Target wish lists.

Shelter Cleaning
Volunteers are needed who can come and help clean the Day Center every month. Cleaning supplies are provided.
Join a Board Committee
Joining a committee is an opportunity to actively contribute to our direction and impact. Committees collaborate with our programs in supportive roles.
Conduct a Drive
