“If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the labor of
20 million full-time volunteers.” -- Whoopie Goldberg
Shelter, Inc. Needs Volunteers!
Shelter, Inc. volunteers range in ages from twelve to ninety-six years of age. As an
agency we value the care, commitment and contributions of volunteers. Because
we are dedicated to ensuring the safety of those we serve, we require criminal
background clearances be conducted for all paid and volunteer applicants.
For those of you who may be interested in volunteering time or talent at Shelter, Inc.
or perhaps making a donation, there are a HOST of jobs, opportunities, and ideas
for you to choose from! If you have just an hour, or maybe more, we have
opportunities that match your time availability, talent and community spirit.
For additional information regarding volunteer opportunities please complete the

Volunteer and Community Highlights
Special Thank You to all of our Volunteers and Community Supporters
Joyce Gohlke (Alpena) and Sharon Endicotte (Oscoda) spend endless hours
shopping, gathering, washing and repairing household goods, clothing and
children's items for survivor families served by Shelter, Inc. in northeast Michigan.
Rest and retirement are words absent from the actions and vocabulary of these
two dynamic women. They are awesome examples of community spirit, caring
and support.
Generations working side by side toward building a healthy, safe community:
A twelve year old youngster visiting her grandmother in Rogers City for the summer is
volunteering at the Shelter, Inc. thrift store, Seconds on Third. 
Volunteer Joan, her daughter Beverly and granddaughter Izzy are working side by
side in the Shelter, Inc. Oscoda thrift store. 
Beth, Gaye, Joan and Sally show up week after week, month after month, year after
year to answer crisis lines and warmly welcome victims of domestic violence and
sexual assault seeking safety.
A.B.A.T.E. region 16, Hale Fraternal Order of the Eagles, Oscoda Plastics, Iosco
International Quota Club, Oscoda Area United Way along with other service clubs,
groups and caring individuals through time, monetary and material donations are
building a children's program service area adjacent to the Shelter, Inc. services
facility in Oscoda, Michigan.
