Groups
Church groups, businesses, and other local groups can make a big difference – and have fun – by volunteering as a group!
Your group experience will be determined by your group size.

Small groups can sign up for volunteer shifts individually and begin volunteering immediately. Volunteer opportunities for small groups include:
- Serve a Meal – Ages 18 & older, available daily
Breakfast volunteers serve 8:15 am – 10:15 am on weekdays; Lunch volunteers serve 10:30 am – 1:45 pm; Dinner volunteers serve 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm, providing warm meals and a friendly smile. - Reset the Shelter – Ages 18+, available every Saturday
Volunteers serve 9:00 am – 12:00 pm, providing basic cleaning activities to keep our shelter clean and safe for our guests.
Follow these simple steps to get started:
