Families & Kids Volunteer Opportunities
Evening Volunteer
You can make a meal for families to enjoy or enterain kids staying in our day center or at our host congregations. It's a great way to support our families staying in our shelter.
​
Freezer Meals
Cook your favorite freezer meals for families moving home, staying in our shelter, or even for our prevention families. When families move home, we help fill their freezer and pantry to help them get settled into their next chapter of their journey. For our shelter and prevention families, this is a good way to help them stretch their dollar and keep making payments on time without having to worry about their next meal.

Day Center
Help us out by keeping our space clean and organized for our families and kids, assembling a variety of craft and thank you projects, performing data entry or other administrative duties, organizing our donations, etc.

Furniture Delivery
