EMERGENCY SHELTER VOLUNTEERS
Needed November 1st-April 1st
The Emergency Shelter relies on volunteers to help it run smoothly. In this role, you will help with tasks such as serving food, working bag drop, coordinating the shower sign-up station, and spending time with guests. More than that, your role is to be a welcoming and affirming presence in the lives of our young adults. Morning shifts are from 6 to 8 am and evening shifts are from 6:30 to 10:30 pm. You must be 22 years of age or older to volunteer on-site. Though the shelter is open every day, volunteer slots are subject to availability.
Please note that on-site volunteering in the shelter requires attending a virtual training prior to your first volunteer shift. The last volunteer training session of the season will be on March 5th.
MEAL VOLUNTEERS
Needed November 1st-March 31st
This is a perfect volunteer opportunity for your group or your family! Each night of the season we provide a hot dinner to our guests, which volunteers drop off on-site that evening. A home-cooked meal is an important value statement for our guests. Unsure about your culinary skills? No worries, we also love when volunteers order catering from local restaurants and deliver the food to shelter! No training is required for this role unless you would like to stay to serve the meals.
Check out our Meal Train page see available dates and sign up to bring food!
