Opportunity Details
Halloween Decorating Party
The mission of Virginia Supportive Housing is to end homelessness by providing permanent affordable rental housing and support services to those most at risk of dying on the streets. The population served at this location is primarily older, low-income, medically vulnerable, and for the most part the tenants do not have the support of local family or relatives. They commonly suffer from loneliness, isolation, physical or mental health challenges. Volunteers often provide the only source of social interaction and emotional support, especially during the holidays. This project provides an opportunity for volunteers to enjoy some light-hearted fellowship with the tenants.
Families are the target volunteers for this day. At least one adult should accompany each youth ages 5-10. At least one adult should accompany each two youth ages 11-15. Of the twenty available volunteer slots, no more than 10 adults should register.
Volunteers will:
All volunteers who plan to attend must be registered. This includes youth. If the post indicates adults must be present, youth and adults must register using the team functionality. To learn more about our team functionality, please view our Volunteer with a Group page.

Registration for this project will close 24 hours in advance.
