The Support Circle Program is a yearlong program to empower families experiencing homelessness to secure and maintain permanent housing. The program leverages the power of partnerships with caring adults who provide moral, spiritual and practical support to build upon the strengths of the families.

Churches, synagogues, mosques and other organizations are invited to organize teams of 6-10 volunteers to partner with a family for at least one year. Support Circles work with the family around critical needs for personal growth and development, putting them on the path to economic self-sufficiency and building community.

Support Circle teams work with families to: secure permanent housing, create and adhere to a financial budget, improve their ability to earn more through job skills training opportunities, mentor children in the family, address child care and transportation issues, improve access to needed health and social services, provide support that will foster the strengths in their assigned family and provide moral and spiritual support.

Wrapped with Love allows Support Circle and Pride for Parents families to purchase donated Christmas Gifts for their immediate household families for a nominal fee. Not only does this provide clients the opportunity and dignity to select Christmas gifts for loved ones, but the funds raised from the sales go back to the emergency assistance program, creating a dual impact! We are also proud of our unique children’s shop which allows children to proudly shop for their parents/guardian.

You are invited to volunteer at CPO! For safety reasons all volunteers under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Anyone aged 16-18 needs to have confirmation from their parent or guardian to volunteer without an adult. They can work with the volunteer coordinator for this step.

Also, for safety reasons you are required to wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes.

You can volunteer one time, once a month, once a week, or as frequently as your and our schedule permits. We ask that volunteers arrive 30 minutes before we open the doors to serving clients to prepare for distribution and plan to stay 30 minutes after closing time to clean up the work area for the next day. For hours and days of operation please refer to the top of the home page.

If you are looking to volunteer with Catholic Parish Outreach, you can email Darcy Hull at CPOvol.Coordinator@ccharitiesdor.org or you can learn more on the CPO volunteer webpage.
