“I am Paulette. It has been my privilege to volunteer at the Hospitality Center since it opened over 20 years ago. It is one of the great privileges of my life. I have always longed to communicate love and respect especially to those who are devalued by society. The Center allows for just that. Join us for the joy of it. Join us for the blessing.”

CURRENT INDIVIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES:

Resource Desk 

9 am to 12 pm – Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays

Resource Desk volunteers maintain a hospitable and professional reception to everyone entering the Center; oversee activities of clients that take place during the shift, and ensure client needs are met. Resource desk volunteers greet and direct visitors, manage the shower and social services lists, ensure a clean and safe environment, and maintain the supply of appropriate client supplies at the front desk. This opportunity involves direct contact with clients.

Breakfast Kitchen Volunteers

6:30am to 8:15am Monday – Friday

Kitchen volunteers help to set up, serve, and clean up breakfast. Two volunteers work with our kitchen manager each day to serve an average of 85 clients each morning. This opportunity involves direct contact with clients.

 Administrative and Mail Assistance

9:00 am to 12:00 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays

Dozens of clients stop by the Hospitality Center each day to pick up their mail. The mailroom is our busiest service each morning, and so we are looking for help giving out and recording mail. If you are interested in hearing more about this opportunity please email us at [email protected]!
