We’re So Glad You’re Here!

In a world that can feel increasingly divided and uncertain, the challenges facing our neighbors and communities are real. But so is our power to make a difference. At Federal Hill House, we believe everyone has something to contribute, and there’s never been a more important time to come together. This is a place where you can put your values into action and help build a stronger community.

Volunteer Your Time

Your time and talents can make a real difference, right here in our community. Volunteers are essential to the work of Federal Hill House. Whether you want to volunteer regularly or have just a few hours to give, we’ll work with you to find an opportunity that fits:

Make a Donation

Invest in the community we all want to live in.

Every day at Federal Hill House, we see the pressures facing our neighbors, from the rising cost of living to the challenges of raising a family or growing older. We also see what a difference access to resources and opportunity can make.

Your donation helps us provide high-quality programs while responding to the changing needs of our community.

Unrestricted gifts are especially valuable. They give us the flexibility to direct resources where they’re needed most and invest in opportunities that other funding may not cover.

Looking for a project for your workplace or community group? We welcome teams for hands-on projects that make a difference.

You might spend a morning improving our outdoor spaces or help prepare for a community event. We’ll work with your group to find a project that’s useful to FHH and rewarding for everyone involved. If your group can also cover the cost of project supplies, even better! 

Contact volunteer@federalhillhouse.org to get started.
