Registered Nurses to help in our Health & Wellness Center
More than 275 volunteers from local businesses, community groups and churches; partner with us every month to help those in need. From serving meals and cleaning, to childcare and mentoring, your time and talent can bring hope and healing to others.
The first step to volunteer is to complete the volunteer application. Which will give us some information about your interests and availability.
Once we receive your application, we'll contact you to set-up an interview and a tour. In the meantime, please check out our guidelines for a successful volunteer experience.
If you have volunteered with us before, please email or call 509-525-7153 to let us know you are ready to partner with us again.
If you have any questions, email or call Jeannette Regalado at 509-525-7153 ext. 114.
During the current Coronavirus pandemic, the Christian Aid Center is providing three meals a day--breakfast, lunch and dinner to anyone in our community who is hungry.
Breakfast: 7:30 am daily
Lunch: Noon-1:00 pm (provided by the following local churches: Pioneer United Methodist Church, St Paul’s Episcopal Church, Congregational Church, New Beginnings Chapel and Good Neighbor Church.)
Dinner: 5:30 pm daily
We give away donated food at the same time as when we serve meals daily: breakfast at 7:30 am, lunch at noon, and dinner at 5:30 pm.
Our goal is to be a place of hope and encouragement for women experiencing life’s struggles. Whether it is to get in from a cold night or a desire to start fresh, our caring staff wishes to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of those longing to break the cycle of homelessness.
Upon arrival, all guests go through an intake interview and create a Life Action Plan with a staff member. Should a guest need to stay more than 30 days, she may choose one of the following two options:
Healing Home: A life-transformation program lasting from 12 – 18 months, for women who desire to step out of the cycle of destructive patterns that are connected to addiction, trauma and broken relationships. The program consists of three primary components—overcoming addiction, life skills development, and spiritual growth and discipleship.
Connections: An extension program lasting up to four months, for guests working independently to obtain employment or housing.
INTAKES: To inquire about staying here, call our main number at 509-525-7153, or come during the hours of 8:30 am - 4:00 pm. For help after hours, please call or ring the buzzer at the door.
If you have questions or want to find out more, email us or call 509-525-7153.
