Habitat for Humanity
Starting May 2, the Valparaiso chapter of Habitat for Humanity will begin building a home. A unique part of the build is the first week is designated as a Women Build,
meaning 75% of the work done the week of May 2nd to May 9th, must be done by women.
There will all types of roles involved with the Women Build week so if someone is not interested in doing physical labor,
but wants to join in, there will be a role for that person. Work will be done daily May 2 - 9 so we could have a team working during the week or on the weekend. There will be some competition for the weekend slots so if we have a group of women interested; we'd need to reserve one of those slots right away.
If anyone is interested in forming a team or want more information, they can contact Joyce McMurtrey
Dayspring Open Arms Women's Shelter
Open Arms provides overnight shelter for homeless women from October 15 through April 15. With Open Arms ending on April 15 for the summer/fall season, women and children are left with no overnight shelter, which forces women and children on the streets and sleeping in cars for a six month period.
Dayspring Summer Shelter
To address this situation, Dayspring Women's Center has partnered with Housing Opportunities to provide a two bedroom apartment for the summer/fall months beginning April 28 through October 15. The Summer Shelter would be available to women and children seven evenings/week from 6:00 pm to 7:00 am. Women would utilize Dayspring's services during the daytime hours from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Summer Shelter Volunteers
We are presently seeking volunteers who are willing to provide overnight supervision at the Dayspring Summer Shelter. There will be 1 volunteer at each shift seven evenings a week with three shifts: 6:00-10:00 pm/10:00-2:00 am/2:00-7:00 am.
Please note that we are presently checking with the churches to extend the Open Arms Overnight Shelter at the churches an additional two weeks from April 15 to April 28 to bridge the gap until the Dayspring Summer Shelter begins.
If you are interested in being added to our list of volunteers for this summer or would like to be added to the email listing, enroll as a volunteer on Dayspring's website at: http://www.dayspringvalpo.org/volunteer-training.
If you have questions, reply to this message or send a note to Mark Zimmerman, Volunteer Coordinator, at markzimmerman405@hotmail.com.
Thank you.
