How You Can Help
Get Involved with Friends In Deed!
Your financial support is essential to us. While we receive grants for the program portion of our operation (food, motel vouchers, rental assistance, camperships), we rely on donations for staffing our programs, insurance, building maintenance and all other operating costs. Donations can be made on line or by sending checks to our mailing address:

Your volunteer help is essential to us. Volunteers run the Pantry, The Women’s
Room, assist with the Stay Healthy program and provide meals for the Bad Weather Shelter. Volunteers maintain our building, work in our garden and raise funds for us. We need you!
