Ways to Get Involved in August!
All opportunities to volunteer and donate things we need, in one convenient place
Cook a meal for an emergency shelter, donate items that shelter and affordable housing residents need, pick up and deliver donations in your car, and more – including a back-to-school drive! We’d love you to work alongside us to support and build our community. It takes a village to house a city.
Volunteer Activities
Ongoing: Drive for Us!
Drive a regular shift between our shelters in Hazelwood and Rockwood, or sign up to be on call. 🚗 Get Started!
Ongoing: Become a Large Meal Provider
Get your civic group or religious organization together to make regular meals for a shelter – 55, 60, or 120 people at once! 💖 Contact Us
Ongoing: Cook in a Small Group at Our Shelter Kitchen
Friends, families, neighbors, and any groups who want to volunteer together can join us in our shelter kitchen to help make meals. We’d love to have you! 🍳 Contact Us
