Make a Cash Donation

Shalom House relies on the generosity of members and organizations in our community to help finance the operations of our programs and services. Your financial contribution makes a difference in the lives of the many women who need a safe place to sleep and the resources to help stabilize and begin to rebuild their lives. If you would like to make a donation to Shalom House, please mail it to:

Donation Drive

In order help keep the expense of operating the shelter and programs to a minimum, we are always looking for people to donate items we use everyday at Shalom House. We accept new and gently used twin sized quilts, sheet sets, and pillows. Common items we are always looking for are paper products, cleaning supplies, and food.

Shalom House Auxiliary
We invite anyone who is interested to serve on our Auxiliary.  This group supports Metro through programs and fundraising activities.

Student Volunteer Program
High school or college students are welcome to volunteer at Shalom House for their community service requirements. Supervised by the staff member, these volunteer experiences are designed to meet the needs at the shelter and be appropriate for the volunteer. College undergraduate or graduate students can design and complete a project to benefit the shelter which fits with their academic program requirements.
