    I’m a guy and inquired at my local women’s shelter. I was told that they’ll always need help moving families out of their homes. So, there’s that. He can be a mover.

    The women’s shelter likely needs volunteer work done that’s not specifically at the shelter. This would be a good way for him to volunteer.

    Generally, you’re not going to find random men actually volunteering AT the shelter; that would be triggering for some of the abused women who pass through it.

    Make sure he has his criminal records check up to date.

      Lol I don’t know if it counts he has 6 dwi’s and 1 dui. He now is Arkansas clean, where he quit all hard alcohol and wine and not just drinks about an 8 pack a night but never gets out of control in the bad days. Hasn’t had a DWI or DUI in 6 years.

      Because I had an abusive relationship when I was straight and would get constantly raped by my fiance and I never told anyone until years after it ended. My brothers kind of feel responsible so I guess this is their way of correcting a long ago wrong.

        A woman’s shelter is not his personal tool. Tell him to stay the fuck away from this stupid and destructive idea.
