54 Ways You Can Help The Homeless - Overview

IV. Volunteer To Help The Homeless

29. Volunteer At Battered Women's Shelters

Most battered women are involved in relationships with abusive husbands or other family members. Lacking resources and afraid of being found by their abusers, many may have no recourse other than a shelter or life on the streets once they leave home.

Volunteers handle shelter hotlines, pick up abused women and their children when they call, keep house, and offer counseling. Call your local shelter for battered women to see how you can help.
