Many in our community face the harsh reality of living without adequate shelter. Our Warming Center is a vital lifeline, offering warmth, safety, and comfort to those who need it most. But we can’t do it alone. We need compassionate, dedicated volunteers to help us open our doors and hearts to those in need.
Whether you can give a few hours or several days, your time can make a world of difference. Join us in creating a warm and welcoming environment. Your support will bring hope to those in need.
Make a difference and volunteer today.
We offer two shift options for volunteers.
PM Shift (6:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.): As a PM Shift volunteer, you’ll be a welcoming presence for our guests as they arrive, helping to serve meals and create a comforting atmosphere for the evening ahead. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring our guests feel safe, respected, and ready for a restful night.
AM Shift (5:30 A.M. - 8:00 A.M.): For the early risers, the AM Shift is a chance to start our guests’ day with kindness. You will help with the morning routine, wake-up, and clean-up, ensuring a positive start to our guests' day.
Ready to make mornings brighter, or bring warmth to the evening?
Our guests are welcomed with a warm meal daily, generously provided by local restaurants and dedicated volunteers. We coordinate volunteers to prepare home-cooked meals for approximately 40–45 individuals (about 3-4 9 by 13 pans).
Here is how it works:
If you have a passion for cooking and a heart for serving the community, we invite you to join us in this essential role.
Volunteers are required to complete a standard application form.
You will be assigned a shift to support and serve our guests. Shift options are 6:00 P.M. – 9:00 P.M., and 5:30 A.M. – 8:00 A.M. We ensure no volunteer works alone and strive for a schedule that does not require any volunteer to serve more than once every eight days.
However, you are welcome to indicate your availability and how often you wish to serve.
We provide our services from December to April, opening our doors from 6:30 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. daily.
Guests are welcome to arrive between 6:30 P.M. and 7:45 P.M. Post 7:45 P.M., entry is restricted to those with a police referral. Re-entry is not permitted for guests who leave after 7:45 P.M.
A nurturing warm meal is served, courtesy of various organizations, families, and local restaurants.
Mornings start at 5:30 A.M. with a wake-up call and simple breakfast items for our guests.
We cherish your commitment and the unique perspective you bring as a volunteer. Share your experiences and insights to inspire others and guide us in refining our efforts. Your stories and feedback are the heartbeat of our community's growth and success.
