Saturday Supper - Hot Meal & Shower Program

Before You Sign Up

We are a local homeless coalition made up of neighbors. We are all volunteers. We do our best to offer a productive, engaging volunteer experience for everyone but we are mostly focused on safety and the needs of program participants.

We're excited to offer this program and these volunteer opportunities but before signing up, please ensure that:

1. You are 18 years of age or older (We can't have younger volunteers due to insurance limitations)

2. You are ready and willing to engage with strangers of all walks of life. This program really is about building a community so we need volunteers who are up to being a friendly face for those who join us. We will show you how to do this.

3. You can stay for the full shift. You may not be busy the entire time but know that we need you there for the moments when it gets busy. We also need your help setting up and breaking down.
