🌟 Volunteer Opportunities

We’d love for you to join us in serving our community! Here are three meaningful ways to get involved:

🍲 Lunch Volunteer
Time Commitment:
  • Shift: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
  • Lunch served at 12:00 PM
  • Commit to the same day each week or one–two consistent days per month
What You’ll Do:
  • Arrive by 11:00 AM
  • Choose from pre-prepared food in our cooler (leftovers or donated bag lunches)
  • Decide what to serve & serve lunch to 10–15 residents
  • Help with light cleanup afterward
Who You’ll Help:

Respite residents — individuals who aren’t feeling well, have disabilities, or families who need a safe daytime space. Beyond a meal, you’ll be offering comfort, care, and dignity.

🛋️ Respite Room Volunteer
Time Commitment:
  • Flexible — weekly is ideal, but monthly or alternating with a friend works too
  • Consistency helps residents build trust and look forward to your visits
What You’ll Do:
  • Be a kind, supportive presence in the Respite Room
  • Chat, listen, or just hang out
  • Help with light activities: puzzles, games, TV
  • Assist with simple tasks like understanding paperwork or using a phone/email
Why It Matters:
Even small gestures can have a huge impact — past volunteers have helped with forms, played board games, and simply provided a listening ear.

👕 Clothing Closet Volunteer
Location: Resource Center — Large storage room
Open Hours: Mondays & Fridays, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
What You’ll Do:
  • Greet and check in guests
  • Explain clothing limits
  • Help fold, bag, and tidy items
  • Put out new donations
Why It Matters:
This service provides free essentials like shoes, coats, and seasonal clothing. Your help ensures residents leave with warmth, confidence, and dignity.
Time Commitment:
  • Ideally during Monday and Friday shifts
  • Open to adding new times if you’re interested!
