"It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself/herself" -- Charles Dudley Warner

Home Free could not do the work we do without our volunteers. Each year volunteers contribute over 6,000 hours helping in various ways. We have volunteers providing assistance to battered women, their children and Home Free staff in all areas of our programs. We appreciate all they have to give.

We also have internships in our women's program, children's program, and community programs.

To become a volunteer or intern please contact our volunteer coordinator, Kari Hitchcock at (763) 559-9008 or e-mail.
