Volunteers are an essential part of our team. Last year,
1264 people logged over 5,000 hours of service. Volunteers serve a variety of roles, including:
Meal Teams
Meal teams prepare an evening meal for 30-35 people (guests, staff and volunteers). Meals must be prepared outside of the shelter and brought in ready to serve.
Meal teams arrive at 5:30 PM to set-up.
