I Want To Help

Weird and Awful Music Volunteer group

With a volunteer base of over 1,500 people, Friendship House is able to help more than 5,500 people each year. Are you ready to say yes?

If you say yes to gifting your time with us, you are saying yes to an opportunity that will affect someone’s life, maybe several people’s lives, while also impacting your own.  It is very powerful to see someone in need and be able to reach out to do something positive. By offering your time, you are proactively making a positive impact on someone’s life and also improving the state of those in need in New Castle County, Delaware.

If you want to learn more about potential service opportunities please review our Volunteer Packet. This guide is designed to describe existing programs that you or your group can get involved in right away.  However, if you have something you feel callColde Purple 2-16-2014
ed to do that is not part of this list, please let me know.  We are always open to new ideas and suggestions, so please do not hesitate to share with us anything that is nudging or calling out loudly to you that can improve our services or add to our existing ones.

If you are interested in investing your time with us just once, with a group, or several times please fill out Volunteer Application (we also offer a Word or PDF version). You can also schedule a tour of our facilities for yourself or your group prior to or part of your volunteer experience. We will ensure you or your group has the proper orientation to prepare you for what exciting opportunity lies ahead.

Without our group of selfless servers, we are unable to accomplish all that we are doing.  With that said, thank you for taking a moment to consider being part of this mission.

Concord Presbyterian Church Youth copyQuestions can be directed to FHkime@gmail.com or call the office at 302-652-8133. We desire to help you answer the inner call you hear to serve.

I came to Friendship House in August of 2017, after spending four months in an inpatient rehab in Wilmington. My drug of choice was alcohol, and I spent a lot of time trying to justify my drinking because I was just a college kid, and it was legal. I was a full time student, I […]

From A Graduate – Andrew’s Story

Hello. My name is Andrew Zebley, and I am a sober, recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I never thought I would be able to say those words. The plan I had for my life before sobriety was to miserably live out my days on the streets until I was in jail, or if I was […]

Spring Is Just Around The Corner

Spring Is Just Around The Corner

As the east coast managed it’s fourth nor’easter in March, many people wondered out loud, “Will spring ever come?” I heard many respond with, “Don’t worry, spring is just around the corner.” That reminds me of the children’s story collection about two of my favorite characters, Frog and Toad, created by Arnold Lobel. One story […]
