DIMH will incorporate both individual and group volunteers and will provide training to ensure a safe and professional work environment for everyone. We welcome men and couples to spend an evening at the shelter,
providing companionship to our guests and oversight of shelteroperations. Training is provided.
If you are interested, please
contact us at interfaithdover@verizon.net and provide your contact
information and, if possible, dates when you are interested in volunteering.
We also need afternoon volunteers from 1:00 to 5:00 on Monday,
Tuesday, and Friday to answer phones in our office.
Join others who have enjoyed working with those who represent the diversity of our community. Our volunteers describe their experience as humbling and uplifting. Volunteering to help the homeless with DIMH is a way to put your faith into action.
