Join us in our mission. Attend events, donate, advocate, or volunteer. Every effort counts

Your time can change lives. From preparing meals to helping at events or providing support at the shelter, every volunteer plays a part in giving hope to women and children rebuilding their lives.
Are you looking to make a difference with a warm meal?
Our residents at Open Door Women's Shelter, located at 1240 Cowell Farm Road, Washington NC 27889, truly appreciate the gesture. While they have access to a full kitchen and often cook for themselves, everyone enjoys a break from cooking now and then!
Help us bring awareness to the mission of Open Door Women’s Shelter. Host a fundraiser, sponsor a speaking event, or invite one of our representatives to share how your group can make a difference in the lives of women and children experiencing homelessness.
On this website, we offer easy-to-use links for sale financial contributions. Additionally, we maintain an up-to-date Amazon Wishlist. However, due to storage constraints, we can't accept clothing or shoe donations. Still, feel free to ask about particular sizes, as we might have a resident who requires them.
The best way to start the volunteer process is to get in contact with us through this form. We'll give you a call to go over options and best fits, and find out more about you in the process too!
