How to Help
Community members are an important source of support for Peace House and its programs. The community provides Peace House with our leaders, volunteers, financial contributors, corporate sponsors and so much more.
To brainstorm with us on how you or your organization can become a Peace House sponsor, please contact Ann Johnson, our Development Manager.
PayPal
Use your credit or debit card to make a one-time donation or to set up monthly payments of any amount.
Guidestar’s Network for Good is another way to securely make one-time or subscription-based gifts charged to your credit card.
If you prefer, you can make out a check to Peace House and mail to:
PO Box 682141Park City, UT 84060
Structured Giving
For a confidential discussion about your options for significant gifts, deferred gifts or gifts of registered securities, please contact Jane Patten, Executive Director, at 435-658-4739 x101.
For a gift of $1,000 or more, you can underwrite the cost of one day’s operation and help ensure the Peace House shelter remains a viable resource in our community.
The possibilities are endless and the gift is priceless. To learn more about how you can participate in the Shelter Sponsor program, please contact Ann Johnson, Development Manager.

Shelter Support
Volunteers help out at the shelter with both client-related and non-client-related tasks. Peace House invites you to share your talents Consider donating some of your time as a volunteer. Please inquire at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Non-client-related tasks include housekeeping, light office work, grocery shopping, gardening, and shelter maintenance.
Client-related tasks include translation for non-English speakers, pet care, babysitting, transportation, resume preparation and career counseling, computer training, personal grooming, personal finance education, and assistance in negotiating the bureaucratic maze.
Some volunteers have completed a state-mandated training to become qualified Shelter Advocates. Advocates work a regular shift, taking Help Line calls, performing intake services for new families and providing other direct client support services.
Administrative Support
Separate from the shelter, Peace House has an office at Prospector Square in downtown Park City where many of the administrative functions and out-of-shelter programs take place. We are always grateful for assistance with administrative tasks, such as book-keeping, data entry, reception, copying and filing.
We can also use people with specialized skills such as webmaster, copy writing, graphic layout and design, public relations, grant writing, database management, IT, audit prep, etc.
Booths, Events & Board Support
Peace House attends many public events (such as the Park Silly Sunday Market) with an information booth. Peace House Boosters (specially-trained volunteers) are always needed to staff these booths. We also hold fund raising and other events, for which volunteer help is always appreciated. These are both great ways to help Peace House if you enjoy interacting with the general public.
The Board of Directors has standing and ad hoc committees (such as Finance, Fundraising, etc) which plan and organize activities with strategic impact. These committees often include non-board-members, particularly those with specialized skills. Serving on a board committee, you can see the inner workings of a nonprofit from a very different perspective.
To volunteer for the Shelter, Admin Support, or Events & Board Support, please complete an application and contact our Volunteer Coordinator.
