How volunteers help at Dixon?

As a volunteer, you give your time and energy to Dixon Transition Society. In doing so, you help us provide our excellent support services for women and children fleeing violence.

At Dixon, we uphold values of respect, trust, acceptance, and education, and we expect our volunteers to celebrate individuality & diversity, and be non-judgmental, sensitive and empathetic.

*Please note that volunteer opportunities may change depending on Dixon’s needs, and the needs of the women and children we serve.

Garden

We strive to maintain a high level of quality at our housing facilities, including the outdoor spaces. Mary’s Garden is tended by volunteers and provides the women and children at Dixon House with a beautiful, calming outdoor space to enjoy.

Food Bank

There is always action in the Dixon House kitchen. A unique aspect of our transitional housing is that we do our best to cater to the dietary needs of our multicultural families, and volunteers are an important part of making this happen. Food bank volunteers pick up and deliver prepared groceries which are pre-ordered by the house. The commitment is 1.5 hours per week with mileage reimbursement. Volunteers must have access to a vehicle and daytime availability during the week.

Share Knowledge

Do you have special skills or even basic ones? If you think that our organization can benefit from your skills or knowledge, get in touch!

Organize donations in Bea’s Boutique

We are so lucky to have generous community members provide clothing, household items, toiletries, and personal hygiene products for the women and children we serve. We want the families at Dixon to access these donations in a way that makes them feel respected. Volunteers organize donations at “Bea’s Boutique” so that women can have a quality “shopping” experience while they access supplies they need.
