Get Involved
My Sister’s Place Women's Center is dependent on the generosity of others. Donations of goods and services, monetary contributions and volunteers are vital to our continued success.
We need volunteers to:
Prepare and Serve Meals
Is your corporation, sorority, leadership group or any other group looking for ways to volunteer? We'd love to hear from you! We need 500 volunteers each month to sustain our meal programs. With your help, we anticipate serving 150 to 175 women and children each day. Individuals or groups are needed to bring continental breakfasts (bagels, muffins, fruit, etc), prepare noon meals from scratch, and prepare casseroles for dinner. Volunteers are also needed to serve all three meals every day. For more detailed information on our volunteer needs for meals please click here.
Meet our ladies.
Spend an afternoon with us. Bring snacks and a movie. Prepare a meal to share. Bring CDs and dancing shoes, and prepare to boogie. We are open and flexible, and we want you to get to know us and feel comfortable with us.
Facilitate a workshop on a topic that is meaningful and exciting to you.
Suggestions include workshops on the following topics: loving parenting; resourceful budgeting; personal health and wellness; how to have fun with your children; and cooking.
Provide field trip opportunities.
Suggestions include field trips to local and regional theater (e.g., Arena Players or Center Stage), the movies, The Maryland Zoo, The National Aquarium, Washington, D.C. or Philadelphia, and local museums (e.g., the Reginald F. Lewis African-American History Museum, The B & O Railroad Museum, the Walter’s Art Gallery, or the Baltimore Museum of Art).
Start a weekly, biweekly, or monthly club.
Start a regular discussion group about movies, art, music, cooking, history, or another topic of interest to you.
Facilitate arts and crafts classes.
Teach our ladies to crochet, knit, quilt, or make jewelry.
Help organize an event.
Are you interested in helping with client talent show, fashion show, art exhibit, or dance recital? Would you like to host a make-over day for mothers? Our families love to participate in new and exciting things – the sky’s the limit!
Do you enjoy exercise and promoting others’ physical well being? Help to coordinate an exercise class. Start a yoga, dancing, tai chi, medication, or jazzercise class.
Provide children’s programming.
Would you like to rent out Chuck E. Cheese for the next children’s birthday party? Would you like to help to make a barber or hair stylist available for the first day of school? Do you know of a children’s musical or theatrical group willing to entertain the children at My Sister’s Place? Let us know!
