Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill in the volunteer sign-up form from the Volunteer button on the Sunshine House page, then call (267) 804-7166 or email to ask about hours and a first shift..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Sunshine House on Kensington Avenue is a safe indoor place to rest, with a messaging center where you can call or leave messages for family, clothing and hygiene supplies, snacks, and wound-care supplies. Overdose-reversal training and volunteer education workshops are offered. Volunteers help run these services, so the sign-up form is the way in.
Tips for your first visit
- Confirm hours by phone or email before you come, since the website does not list them.
- Ask about the overdose-reversal (Narcan) training when you sign up; the Sunshine House page links to a training sign-up.
- Ask the group about the best way to get there, since the site gives no transit directions.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: A volunteer sign-up form is posted and training workshops are offered, but the site does not describe what a volunteer shift involves..
