      Prison Visitor Volunteer Information

       


      Come and enjoy a unique on-on-one setting for supportive conversations. Volunteers are matched to inmates and spend time together every two weeks inside the prison. We are grateful to partner with our friends at M2/W2 Restorative Justice Ministries who have been bringing a presence of loving support to inmates for more than 40 years. Information to help you get started:

      Do you like what you see here but live too far away from Vancouver to volunteer here?

      Do you see a need for some of these services in your community?

      Is your church looking for help to get started reaching out to the community in practical ways?

      We want to share what we've learned in the hope that others will start their own ministries.

      Be part of Christmas here at Partners in Hope!


      Each year we celebrate Christmas by giving to people in need. During the winter months, it is especially important to care for those that are not as fortunate as ourselves. We provide a place were those without families can be part of our family. We also deliver care packages to many people, those that we have grown to love and care for during the year as well as people on the street that we are meeting perhaps for the first time. Help us each year share what we can to those that need it.

      As we gear up for Christmas and we want to invite you to be a part of it. View the calendar of upcoming events including the wrapping parties. If you want to help provide items or donations for christmas events, check out our Chirstmas Donations page, we will keep this updated so you know what we need. Check out our Christmas Community Events page and come along to be part of the warmth and fun of sharing and giving.

      Each year we will be put up more resources, sharing our experiences.
