Many Ways to Make a Difference
Put your energy and talents to good use. We have volunteer opportunities that take as little as a few hours per month. You can help with a one-time project or come every week. We welcome individuals as well as groups.
There are about 100 people who currently volunteer with us. They fill many roles at our emergency shelter, community kitchen, and facilities department.
We will provide all the training you need. Please click here to complete our application.
