Volunteer Opportunities: Six volunteer stations: Greeter, Storage, Mail and Message, Showers, Laundry and Patio. Duties of each station also include cleaning the Center. In addition to working each station, volunteers are encouraged to interact with guests in order to provide an emotional supportive environment. Our aim is to make friends with our homeless guests so they feel that society has not abandoned them. Volunteers need to be stable members of the community who have the ability to relate constructively with those less fortunate than themselves. Hours 7:30 am - 12:30 pm Mon-Fri.
