Volunteer Opportunities

How you can help ?

The Rochester Area Interfaith Hospitality Network (RAIHN) is a tangible way many have joined together to provide real help and compassion to homeless families, working together toward permanent solutions.  

You can help by:  

• Encouraging your congregation or synagogue to become a host or support congregation (contact Nancy Elliott, 506-9050)  
• Volunteering your time personally to an existing host congregation, to provide meals, transportation, or overnight supervision   (Volunteer training session required, see schedule of training dates in “How to become a Volunteer”)  
• Volunteer at the Day Center several hours a week  
• Providing employment opportunities to Guest adults       
• Sponsoring a fund raising event for RAIHN   (see “Upcoming Events”)   
• Making a direct financial contribution to RAIHN, utilizing several payment options  (See options)    
• Donating items on the RAIHN " Wish List  "    
• Helping families move out of the program and into their own apartment (have a truck or van? Strong arms and back? We need you!)
