Volunteering is a great way to help end homelessness in our community!
We work with individuals; groups from faith-based, corporate, neighborhood, or community organizations; and families or groups of friends.
COVID vaccinated volunteers are now welcome back for some on-site activities! Want to help serve food at one of our program sites or facilitate a workshop on budgeting, resume writing, cooking or gardening? Sign-up today!
If remote activities are still more comfortable for you - we have some ideas on how to host a donation drive! Click here for some quick tips on how to make your drive a success!
IMPORTANT:
Volunteers must be 18 years or older at the Boccardo Reception Center or 13 years or older at our other sites. All volunteers must be scheduled through our volunteer portal and supervised by staff.
