Can I Volunteer? How?
YES! Our wonderful volunteers help in so many ways.
Volunteers provide invaluable support and allow the Friendship Place staff more time to help and support our homeless neighbors and the formerly homeless. You can be an hospitality volunteer, receptionist, help with a mailing, arts and crafts, public education, fundraising, yard work, provide a meal at our group homes, and many special projects. You can also volunteer at one of the congregation-based, small shelters. Some shelters need people to bring a dinner, others need overnight volunteers. Each year, several hundred volunteers help us and we couldn’t operate without you!
We also welcome students needing service hours.
If you are interested in volunteering or just want more information, please contact Bill Long at (202) 364-1419 x23 or blong(at)cchfp.org. You can also apply on line to become a Friendship Place volunteer using our online volunteer application. Either way, we look forward to hearing from you soon.

You can donate to Friendship Place by doing your online searching and shopping through search engines and stores that have committed to donating to us. It's easy and doesn't cost you anything!
Searching
GoodSearch is a search engine powered by Yahoo. You can add it to your toolbar and soon you'll be using it every day! It raises about $0.01 per search. Searches for images, videos, and well known sites such as www.aol.com will not raise money.
iSearchiGive is a search engine for internet, shopping, and coupons that gives $0.01 to Friendship Place for every search, and keeps a running total at the top of your page so you know how much you have given.
Shopping
iGive is a shopping website that connects you with 744 different stores that give anywhere from 0.8-12% of your purchase amount to Friendship Place. As of August 2009, supporters have raised over $300 for us! iGive sends a weekly email listing stores that are doubling their donation percentage or offering special sales.
iBakeSale is an online shopping portal with 88 stores that provide a percentage back that you can donate to Friendship Place. They also have a tell-a-friend email service that you can use to ask friends to support us. |
