Frequently asked questions about volunteering

Trailers of Hope was born from a personal journey through cancer, revealing the immense need for supportive housing for patients traveling for treatment. As a church-based initiative in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, we aim to provide comfortable, accessible trailer accommodations, transforming a difficult journey into one of greater ease. Our commitment to compassion and community drives every aspect of our mission, ensuring patients can focus on healing without the added stress of travel and lodging expenses.

What kinds of tasks do volunteers typically help with at Trailers of Hope?
Our volunteers help situate trailers on properties, ensuring they are stable and have water, electricity, and possibly Wi-Fi. After a client's stay of three days or more, volunteers also help re-clean and reclaim the trailer for the next use.

Do volunteers need any special skills or experience?
No, volunteers do not need any special skills. Most importantly, they just need to bring a smile and a way of welcoming our new friends with kindness.

How does a volunteer's help directly impact those going through cancer treatment?
We aim to meet clients at the site to let them know that the burden of travel and finding expensive accommodation is lifted for the duration of their stay with us, allowing them to focus on their treatment.

What's the best way for someone interested in volunteering to get started?
Simply bring your Christian love and willingness to help. This may involve helping to set up a trailer or clean it afterwards, even if it's just for a day or two.
