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. |
VolunteersWe 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. |
DonationsWe target very specific needed items that can be distributed efficiently including food items, excellent used condition clothing, new clothing and toiletries.
Please help us minimize the sorting and disposal of goods we can’t safely hand out by donating only the items listed. |
