IMMEDIATE APPEAL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

We have an urgent need for VOLUNTEERS to provide services to the House of Grace, a shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence.  Did you know that the House of Grace has a 24/7 Hotline?  We need trained volunteers to answer these calls.  Did you know that House of Grace has a Thrift Shop (1652 Stateline Road)?  We need volunteers to assist with sales and stocking.  Would you like to learn how to be a victim’s advocate to volunteer in Tate, Tunica, Marshall and Panola Counties (counties served by the House of Grace in addition to DeSoto)?  Would you like to be a part of the Speaker’s Bureau for the House of Grace in an effort to bring awareness to this issue and provide education for prevention of domestic violence?  And there are other volunteer positions that need to be filled. 

If you are interested or want to learn about these volunteer opportunities, Volunteer Northwest Mississippi, the area’s first volunteer center, urges you to come to VOLUNTEER TRANINING on November 14, 2007 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the offices of the House of Grace at 8625 Highway 51 North  Suite 2 or call the office at 662. 342.1889.    SIGN ON TO VOLUNTEER TODAY!!
