Ecumenical Partnership for Housing (EPH) provides safety, stability and solutions leading to self-sufficiency for families with children facing homelessness. Union Church was an early EPH partner, and Jubilee House has been a safe, warm and welcoming home used by many families over the years.

EPH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

EPH owns and manages over 20 family-sized homes within its transitional housing program. Volunteers help with maintaining the homes, assisting with childcare, mentoring, office support and serving on committees. Additional information can be found at https://www.ephgb.org/volunteer.

JUBILEE HOUSE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Jubilee House houses one family at a time and turns over 1-2 times per year, depending on the family situation. EPH assists families with housing, employment, goal setting (such as a parent completing school) and financial management skills.

Volunteer opportunities include:

• General cleaning and bedrooms setup and kitchen restock when a turnover happens.
• Maintaining the outside of the building and yard throughout the year.
• Donating items to help defray the cost of a turnover, including cleaning supplies, laundry baskets and new / gently-used twin or queen sheets, blankets, pillows and towels.
• Donating grocery store or Menard’s gift card to help defray the cost of the turnover.
