How You Can Help

MealTrain

Support our community by donating a dinner via our MealTrain. You’ll provide our residents with an exciting change of pace at dinnertime and give our hard-working staff a break from cooking. If you would like to contribute, sign up for a slot on the calendar–you can make your own dish to drop off at the house, place an order with a local restaurant for delivery on your chosen day, or donate a gift card.

Email info@josephshouse.org for support or suggestions. Thank you!

Honor One You Love
Make a donation to Joseph’s House in honor of or in memory those you love, knowing that with your gift Joseph’s House will welcome and befriend and provide around-the-clock care for men and women who are homeless and dying.

Matching Gifts
Matching gift programs through your workplace can double or even triple the value of your contribution. Contact your employer’s human resources department to find out if your employer offers a matching gifts program.

Remember Joseph’s House in Your Will
Consider leaving a legacy of compassion by remembering Joseph’s House in your estate planning. You can donate through your will, a trust or life insurance policies. There are a number of options for donating through your estate plans, including a specific sum, a percentage of the estate, or the remainder of your estate after expenses and gifts to loved ones. To make a gift to Joseph’s House through your estate plans, please contact Executive Director Kowshara Thomas at (202) 265-7174 or kthomas@josephshouse.org.

Volunteer

In order to maintain the family-like atmosphere of the house, most of the volunteer service at Joseph’s House is provided by those who serve full-time or who serve two full days per week through established volunteer service programs. We also have a limited number of individuals who visit weekly to help prepare meals, as well as volunteers who assist with some administrative tasks.

If you are interested in one of the year-long service programs, you can visit their websites for additional information:
