You can make a real difference.
You can help rebuild lives after abuse
Thank you for considering Abuse Hurts as a place to share your valuable time and energy. We couldn’t do what we do without the dedication and heart of our volunteers. Whether it’s sorting donations, helping with events or answering phones, your support helps us serve thousands of individuals and families every year who are rebuilding their lives after abuse.

Our volunteers support many areas of our work, including.
By answering calls, assisting with paperwork and supporting promotional efforts, you will help keep our operations running smoothly. This enables the Abuse Hurs team to allocate more resources to helping survivors rebuild their lives.
Our warehouse volunteers play a vital role in ensuring that donations reach those in need as quickly as possible. By receiving, sorting, packing and organizing incoming goods, you help us move thousands of items each month to survivors starting over. Your time and energy ensure that essentials like clothing, housewares and personal care items are processed quickly and efficiently, making a real difference in someone’s life right when it is needed most.


Event volunteers are the friendly faces and helping hands that bring our fundraising events to life, from setting up and tearing down event venues to managing silent auctions and welcoming guests. Your support ensures our event runs smoothly. These events are essential for both fundraising and raising awareness, as well as bringing the community together in support of survivors. With your help, we can create meaningful experiences that inspire action and hope.
Volunteers in our Delivering Hope Boutique help create a friendly shopping experience for community members. Whether you are assisting with customer service, organizing merchandise, or keeping the space tidy and inviting, your efforts turn our store into a place of comfort, connection, and new beginnings for others. Every shift you volunteer supports our mission and helps fund critical programs for those rebuilding their lives after abuse.
