Out Of The Cold

Every Friday evening, starting November 4th, 2022, we will be providing a hot, nutritious sit-down dinner, access to our clothing room and a take-away lunch. Doors open at 6 p.m. with last admittance at 7:30 p.m.

Picture
We are a volunteer-run program providing a hot meal, shelter from the cold, clothing, basic needs, warmth, dignity, and kindness to those in need in our community on Friday evenings from November to March.

Our program is organized and supervised by a dedicated group of volunteers comprised of  70+ church and community members, that prepare and serve nutritious meals, snacks and take-out lunches, distribute clothing and provide supports for fellow members of our community that need it most.

Volunteers

Picture
We rely entirely on volunteers and welcome anyone 14+ who can commit to a 3 hour shift Friday afternoons, dinner, evenings or Saturday mornings. The Preparation, Evening and Breakfast shifts are covered by teams who commit to a monthly shift.
All volunteers must be fully vaccinated and follow all current health and safety guidelines. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Emilia Galaev, for volunteer opportunities.
