Do You Want To Volunteer?

SWAN and Butterfly House can always use more volunteers and the process is pretty easy.


Just let us know if you might be interested. We will meet with you to provide more information and find out where you may be the best fit.

Some ways our volunteers help

• Mixers – go to mixers in your neighborhood to talk about SWAN. This helps get awareness out
• Tabling – set up a table outside a local store, hand out information and accept donations.  Donation Recruitment – talk to local business owners to give info on SWAN and see if they would be interested in donation anything
• Fundraisers – ideas need! Also, help needed on upcoming events.
• Rummage sale holders – hold rummage sale for donations to SWAN. Pool your items with those of friends, family and other volunteers
• Play games – poker, bunco – hold a game night for a buy in and have people bring donations (cash, TP, etc)
• Sales Party – have a independent consultant donate a portion of sales from getting your friends together. Corporate reach out – contact large companies to see if they would support swan with a drive or fundraiser.
• Volunteer at the house – work with the women of Butterfly House. Any activity in the house is good as long as it has a positive message and will help the women in the search for self esteem and goal achievement.

Full House!

As mentioned before, the Butterfly House is now full with 4 great girls and their children.
Ashly has a 4 month old son and was the first person in the house. Katie joined, she has 3 daughters that are 1,3, and 5. She also has a boy on the way. Joslyn is a 17 year old who doesn't have any children and jsut last night a new girl joined the house with her 10 month old son.
As you can imagine there are a host of needs: diapers, baby clothes, and food being top priorities. 2 of the ladies left with only what they were wearing!

In addition to the immediate needs, there are ongoing needs...just to sustain the house we need $1,584 a month. Please consider a reoccuring donation $5, $10, $15 or more each month. You can sign up at https://www.justgive.org/basket?acton=donate&ein=20-1788353 and the payment will be automatic. All donations should be tax deductable.

The garage sale is tomorrow & Saturday and hopefully we will have a great turn out and raise a lot of money to get these ladies some of the things they need. Basic things that you and I take for granted beacuse we have them.....but imagine having to live with only 1 shirt.

Please come consider a donation and coming to the garage sale. Please spread the word about the garage sale, we have a ton of great stuff for sale and will also have information about SWAN and Butterfly House!
