Your donations were well used, and greatly appreciated.

About being a crisis line volunteer

One of the vital services the Diane Peppler Resource Center provides is the 365 day a year, 24 hour a day phone line, so that victims may call at any time and receive assistance. The Diane Peppler Resource Center relies on volunteers to help with the 24 hour crisis line. Crisis phone volunteers agree to have the crisis phone transfered to their homes where they provide coverage from 11 p.m. to 7:45 a.m. so volunteers are able to be at their home dring their shift. All volunteers are provided with training so they are able to answer questions and be prepared for situations which may arise.

The Diane Peppler Resource Center Board of Directors

The Diane Peppler Resource Center is governed by a Board of Directors made up of individuals from our three county service area, with a variety of skills and backgrounds. The Board meets on a monthy basis; however, individual committees meet as well, and the Board is also involved in fundraising, governance and administrative activities. The DPRC may have up to 15 board members.
