Volunteer Helpers

Each year volunteers donate hundreds of hours to shop, prepare, and serve meals, work with the children, greet and spend time with clients and their children, and serve on event committees.

If you feel your talents would benefit the women and children of The Living Room, or if you would like to learn more about the program, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at 707-591-5490.   We will answer your questions and schedule you to come in for a visit at your convenience.

Volunteers as Mentors

The Living Room has started a special project where volunteers serve as Mentors to work one-on-one with a small number of clients who are in need of some extra support and encouragement as they transition into housing and/or employment. Read all about the details of our new Mentoring program, and the accompanying Resource Toolbox - both projects are looking for volunteers now! Contact Linda Swan at 707-321-0580 or at lswan@thelivingroomsc.org.

Special Event Volunteers

Each year The Living Room holds various fundraisers, participates in the Human Race, hosts local play and musical performances, and coordinates special events for the clients.  If you are interested in volunteering for any of the events, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 707-591-5490.

• Race for The Living Room! – The Human Race is an event which helps raise more than $1 million each year for various community-based organizations and agencies who serve the communities of Sonoma County. Held on Saturday, May 10th, The Living Room hopes to have you join us at this very special event. You can walk, run, and/or pledge your support! See our Calendar of Events page for more information.
   





• Benefit Plays in partnership with 6th Street Playhouse – Each year, the 6th Street Playhouse offers the full house of a final rehersal of an upcoming play, such as Oklahoma or Guys and Dolls to friends and supporters of The Living Room. Everyone enjoys a wonderful theatrical evening, often with wine and hors d'oervers preceding the event. Volunteers help us in distributing programs, serving refreshments, ushering patrons to their seats and helping with clean-up. All proceeds from ticket sales and raffles at the event go to support the programs and clients of The Living Room! Check back in early 2008 to see which play is next on the schedule.
