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.

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. No walk-in opportunities are available!
