Direct Support for Safe House Residents
Overnight and Weekend Volunteer Staff will assist with overseeing the evening/overnight/weekend operations of The Potter’s Hands Safe House program at a minimum of 1 shift every two weeks. The position will generally operate on a schedule, but volunteers may also be called for last minute emergency coverage. Hours will be in the evenings, and on weekends and holidays. Individuals in this position must maintain the security and confidentiality needed for this type of specialized program. The Overnight and Weekend Volunteers members must be available to assist the Regular Staff Members in conflict or crisis situations and will be responsible for assisting with the maintenance of documentation and ensuring the smooth operation of the program during the assigned hours. The Overnight and Weekend Volunteers will work with other staff and volunteers to create a supportive community helping to meet the needs of each resident.

Heavenly Treats
A wholly-owned subsidiary of The Potter's Hands Foundation, Heavenly Treats produces and sells a variety of confections, including over 20 flavors of fudge, caramel corn, and chocolate-covered goodies. Heavenly Treats is volunteer-run and all profits go directly to the safe house to support the hope and healing of the residents. Volunteers are needed to help with producing and packaging products (3 hour shifts on Mondays and Tuesdays), delivering orders to customers, and managing our volunteer calendar.
Other Needs
Transportation
Our residents often have medical, dental or therapy appointments and often need rides to their place of employment. If you have a valid drivers license and you would be interested in helping with transportation, please reach out.
Transitional housing for program graduates
As women graduate our program and leave our home, it's important for them have a safe place to live and establish their independence. Families that are willing to host program graduates and homes that can serve as transitional housing are such a blessing.
Storefront and/or Home for Transitional Housing
Phase 2 is a visionary project of The Potters Hands. The storefront will provide sustainable resources for operating expenses and work experience and training for safe house residents. The transitional home will help our residents transition safely into their new lives without the threat of revictimization. We are still prayerfully looking for a suitable retail site that could be donated or greatly discounted. If you can help, please send us a message.
