Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Use the 'I'm interested' button on the volunteer page, or send a message on the Contact page, and name the role you want, such as the Wednesday pantry or the ESL classes..

What to expect

A volunteer might pack and hand out food at the Wednesday pantry, help guests use the showers, or teach English or GED classes on weekday evenings. The site does not give shift lengths or how many hours a month volunteers give, so ask about that first. Pantry food and showers are free for people who come to them.

Tips for your first visit

  • Ask which shift fits, since the site does not list hours for each volunteer role.
  • Expect Monday morning deliveries and weekday evening classes if you pick those roles.
  • Watch the events list for free sessions, which give a registration link.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Five volunteer roles are listed, the pantry and showers run on set weeknight hours, and free events list a registration form, though the sign-up form itself did not appear in the text I read..
