Volunteer With Us

Path Home provides trauma-informed, culturally competent services to families with kids. Our vision is to live in a community where every family has the support and community they need to thrive. 

On a daily basis, Path Home volunteers contribute to that sense of community for families. The purpose of the Volunteer Program is to help Path Home accomplish and enhance our mission. We offer meaningful opportunities for community members to join us in our work.

Volunteering with Path Home is such a grounding experience for me. Path Home is an excellent servant to the community, and by extension, I feel like I’m now more connected.
— Phillip, Path Home Volunteer

Group Volunteering

We love to foster meaningful connections with corporate groups, faith congregations, and more. For families experiencing homelessness, the most vital need is often simply to reconnect to community, and our partners help provide that connection. We appreciate the opportunity to build deep relationships with our partners. We encourage ongoing engagement and invite groups to participate in 2-4 annual experiences.

Contact the Volunteer Program Manager at volunteer@path-home.org to learn about available opportunities.

More Ways to Get Involved

Drives are a meaningful way to connect your kids, friends, and coworkers with local families experiencing homelessness. Are you having a birthday soon but don’t want more things? Want to engage your coworkers or faith group by giving back?

  • In-Kind Donations: View our wishlists to see what items are in need.

  • Monetary Donations: Mail checks to our office (6220 SE 92nd Ave, Portland, OR 97266) or make a gift online (tip: this is a great way to encourage those long-distance friends and family to give)!

Donate Your Vehicle

Have a car that you are looking to get rid of? Consider donating it to Path Home! You'll receive a tax deduction for the value of your car.

Path Home partners with the Volunteers of America Oregon, saving you the hassle and expense of selling your vehicle, while supporting a cause you believe in. Some vehicles may be sold to low-income individuals; others may be sold via internet ads or auctions. The Vehicle Donation Program was started in 1991, and the Volunteers of America Oregon team is qualified and knowledgeable in all DMV title procedures.

Matching Gifts

Maximize your gift. Ask your employer if they will match your contributions. Matching gifts represent a powerful way to give, and have value that far exceeds the dollar amount. Matching gifts amplify your personal contribution by bringing your employer into a relationship of support of Path Home’s mission.
