Bring hope, dignity, and support to those experiencing homelessness.

Join our compassionate team as a shelter volunteer and help make a real difference in the lives of individuals and families seeking stability.

  • Supporting recreational and social activities for shelter residents
  • Helping lead or facilitate life skills workshops (budgeting, hygiene, job readiness, etc.)
  • Assisting with organizing donations and supplies
  • Offering a friendly, listening ear and a welcoming presence
  • Helping with children’s activities when families are present

Program Goals:

  • Provide a safe, supportive, and respectful environment
  • Encourage personal growth and life stability
  • Support residents in building confidence, community, and self-sufficiency

Whether you have a heart for service, a skill to share, or simply the desire to be present for others, your involvement can have a profound impact. Opportunities are available for individuals or groups, on a one-time or ongoing basis.

Help us restore hope—one life at a time.
