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 Kara Cody, 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 your 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 us via email or call 435 658-4739 and ask for either Jane or Kara.

Schools Program Support
Currently, we have one part-time staff person to deliver the specialized curriculum to local schools. Anyone with an interest in helping expand this important program with their time and skills is encouraged to complete an application and contact our Schools Program Supervisor.
Shelter Support
Volunteers help out at the shelter with both client-related and non-client-related tasks.
Non-client-related tasks include housekeeping, light office work, grocery shopping, gardening, building maintenance and others.
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 helping negotiate bureaucracies, to name a few.
Additionally, some volunteers have completed state-mandated training to become qualified as Shelter Advocates. Advocates work a regular shift, taking hot-line calls, doing intake for new families and in other ways providing 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.
