The church I belong to helps support the Truth Home and I am contacting you because I am a nurse, currently a SAHM of twins, and in my final chapter of my undergrad in Psychology. Do you allow people to volunteer? If so I am very interested in finding out where I could be of service. If not, do you know any type of program like this that does incorporate volunteers?
Thank you for your time and for your dedication.
Kindly,
Elizabeth M-H

Elizabeth- Thank you for reaching out to me! We aren’t using volunteers just yet for the medical side of the house at the Truth Home but I will keep you in mind if we get to that point. However, I would encourage you to go to thevast.org which is the website for valley against sex trafficking. They hold community meetings every other month and are often looking for help for various things. They are a great organization!

I am the former Director of an agency in Easton that dealt with the homeless long before most of the shelters in the area. I started as a outreach worker and fell into the position of ED I was killing all of the other agencies by providing top quality services In fact I have a WordPress blog you may want to check quit.I know every resource out there and got into a car accident in 2008 and before that politics got involved and my contract was not renewed I was devastated and have continued to try and help people when and wherever I can !!!! I have a wealth of knowledge and no here to share it ,If you want to contact me you can at sandraweiss101@gmail.com
I am also desperately in need of a dental clinic if you know of one I would love to find it.I was in a bad car accident and the meds ruined my teeth I need dentures and have no means to pay as I am on disability If you know I would gladly trade the best case management in exchange for some dental help lol Keep up the great work 610 905 9226

I was at the Jaeger-Tilly conference on Friday and was impressed with your work. I am a retired RN from LVHN and was wondering if there are any volunteering opportunities with your efforts? My husband is also retired and willing to help.
