Assemble + deliver food boxes

We have a list of housed families we take food boxes to once a week. The teams who do this work determine their own hours, assembling the food boxes from our pantry and delivering to the same houses, at the same time each week.  

IS THIS FOR YOU? This is a great volunteer opportunity for a team of two people. A vehicle with space for several boxes of food is required. 

HOURS: This is a flexible hour volunteer opportunity. We ask that boxes be delivered between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm any day of the week.

Outreach 

Working directly with our houseless community is a role that requires a special skill set. Because of the sensitive nature of this aspect of our work, all of our outreach team members are vetted by our outreach director. We are a non-religious organization and do our work without any judgement or expectations of the people we serve. 

IS THIS FOR YOU?  If you are a person who has worked directly with the houseless community before or are a social worker or mental health professional, this may be a good role for you.

HOURS: We do street outreach 7 days a week in the late afternoon and evenings.

Movers 

As our housing advocacy team continues to move more people into permanent housing, getting them settled in with furniture and furnishings is a part of that work. 

IS THIS FOR YOU? This is a good opportunity for someone who loves to help others while getting some physical exercise and / or owns a vehicle that can transport furnishings.
​
HOURS:  Hours and times vary for movers, usually evenings or weekends.

Advocate

Our housing advocates work one on one with people experiencing homelessness to help move them through the process of obtaining housing. Often even when someone obtains a housing voucher, they still need assistance finding that housing, negotiating leases, finding and moving furnishings and so much more. 

IS THIS FOR YOU?  Our advocacy team needs people who have the compassion and skill to help connect the dots. This is an opportunity for someone who is a social worker, mental health professional, retired teacher, etc. Our outreach director will interview you and match you one on one as an advocate. 

HOURS: This is a flexible opportunity requiring a few hours a week and your own transportation.

Drivers

Every week day we pick up food donations from our restaurant partners, bakers, Dare to Care and other donors. Our daily driver(s) make these rounds and deliver to our kitchen headquarters. 

IS THIS FOR YOU? If you like to do good things while driving around town, listening to music in your car, this would be a fun role for you. 

HOURS: Pick ups are done Monday through Friday anytime between 10 am and 4 pm; hours vary depending on the day of the week.
