Womancare needs volunteer advocates to assist in answering our 24 hour helpline. During regular business hours calls are answered from our new office at 8 Mechanic Street in Dover-Foxcroft . Advocates staff the reception desk, meet and greet those coming into the building, take calls, and meet with anyone coming in for services related to domestic abuse. After hours, and on weekends and holidays, advocates carry a pager and respond to calls from their home phones.
