Volunteer your time

Lucille’s Home is always in need of compassionate and dedicated volunteers to help us fulfill our mission. From providing mentorship and support to the women we serve, to assisting with administrative tasks, organizing community events, and helping maintain our facilities, there are many ways to get involved. Your time and talents can make a significant difference in the lives of those in our community.
Whether you have a few hours to spare or are looking for a regular commitment, we welcome volunteers from all walks of life to join our team. Your support is invaluable in helping us create a safe and nurturing environment for those in need.
  • Sometimes simple transportation to the grocery store
  • Friendship, mentoring, and listening partner opportunities
  • Job opportunities for our moms to help them expand their resources
  • Sharing/teaching talents with our families
  • Day Care for their littles when they have opportunities for learning or employment
  • Are you interested in renting a room in your house to one of our moms and their kiddo(s)? Our efforts are focused on helping prevent homelessness and strengthen families to prevent the need for foster care by walking with moms struggling through adversity. We may not have an empty room at our home available right now. If you want to help and would consider using your extra room as a “waiting room” until we do, please contact us for more information!
  • Please use our Contact page to let us know you are looking for more information about volunteer opportunities.

Pray for Lucille's Home

Our ministry is dependent on people who pray, who give of their time and talents and financial support. Our families pay a shared house expense monthly to cover the cost of the house based on the size and space their family needs. The organization covers the cost shortages of our resource home from the generous gifts and donations of our supporters.
