Be the Difference in Someone’s Life Today

Volunteer opportunities

Volunteers are the heart of Jackson House. Your time and compassion help us provide crisis intervention and supportive counseling to those who need it most. Whether you have a few hours a week or can offer specialized skills, your contribution makes a meaningful difference.

Crisis Support Volunteers

Provide compassionate support during crisis interviews and help individuals navigate challenging situations with empathy and care.

Emotional Support Volunteers

Sometimes the greatest gift you can offer is your presence. Emotional Support Volunteers provide companionship, encouragement, and a caring, nonjudgmental ear to individuals facing loneliness, hardship, or personal challenges. By offering understanding and conversation, volunteers help people feel less alone and more supported as they work through difficult situations.

Counseling Assistance

Support our counseling team by assisting with supportive counseling sessions and helping reduce factors that contribute to personal crises.

Administrative & Operational Support

Help maintain records, coordinate resources, and support day-to-day operations that keep Jackson House running smoothly.

Community Lunch Program Volunteers

Individuals, church groups, civic organizations, and business teams are invited to help serve free hot lunches to members of our community. Meals are served daily from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, providing nourishment, fellowship, and a welcoming environment for those in need. This is a wonderful opportunity for groups or individuals to make a direct and visible impact in the community.

Every volunteer plays an important role in helping Jackson House fulfill its mission of providing hope, support, and much needed assistance to those facing life’s challenges in our community.

Emergency Assistance & Community Support at Jackson House

At Jackson House Crisis Intervention, we are a short-term emergency assistance crisis center dedicated to helping individuals and families during difficult times. We primarily provide food assistance once every six months, along with clothing, housewares, and hygiene kits every three months. In certain emergency situations, we may also provide what we call an “emergency box,” which contains smaller amounts of essential items for those facing immediate hardship.

Because we are not funded by the government or the city, our resources are limited, and we are only able to provide assistance to community members in need every six months. However, thanks to the incredible generosity of our local donors and volunteers, we are also able to offer many additional forms of support that we do not widely advertise.

Our mission is simple: to be an accepting and empathetic place the community can come to for help when in crisis and to provide hope, dignity, and compassion to neighbors in need when they need it most.

We serve individuals and families residing in Garland County who have lived in the county for at least six months. Clients are required to provide a local photo ID if they are already in our system. If they are not currently in our system, they must provide either a local photo ID or a bill or piece of mail showing a local address if they do not yet have a local ID.

Applicants must also provide their Social Security number, a DHS referral, or proof of SNAP benefits. If they would like to add household members to their case, such as a spouse or children, they must provide birth certificates or documentation proving legal custody of the child. If a birth certificate is unavailable, we may accept alternative documents such as doctor’s notes, school counselor documentation, or court records showing custody.
