What Volunteers Do

Our volunteers primarily support our staff, assist with guests needs, cleaning, laundry, making coffee, organizing, occasionally running errands, and being available to meet our guests and get to know them.

Additionally, we have volunteers, (families, church groups, community groups, etc.) bring in hot meals to our Nightly Shelter in the evenings. We do not have cooking facilities, so all meals that are brought in must be in a crockpot, casserole dish or a container that can be packed in/packed out. Our guests love high-quality meat, fresh veggies, fresh fruit, and delicious drinks. We find that cooking for 40 is generally the sweet spot. Please bring paper plates and utensils if possible.

Making food for the Community Care Center is a large undertaking and we ask that you contact us directly to talk through what that might look like.
