Ways to Help
Support Our Mission - Give
When you donate, you have the power to choose where your money goes.
If you’d like to support all of the work we do, you can make a general donation. If you have a heart for a specific ministry, you are welcome to add a comment to your donation, and your donation will support the cause of your choice.
Join the Mission - Volunteer
With only a few full-time staff members, HELP thrives because of our dedicated volunteers.
In a group or by yourself, just for the day or on a regular basis; there are many ways to volunteer. Be a part of bringing hope to Hampton Roads. HELP is possible because of volunteers like you.
Be a Part of “A Night’s Welcome”
From November – March, “A Night’s Welcome” provides our homeless neighbors with a hot meal, safe warm shelter for the night, toiletries, fellowship, and breakfast in the morning.

Help with a Meal
We’re always in need of groups to come help prepare and serve a meal for our guests. Some days we feed as many as 100 people.
We are currently accepting sign ups for recurring meals for churches, civic groups, and families who would like to be scheduled monthly for a dinner & breakfast at the shelter.
Sign up here.
