Here are a few ways you can volunteer in our ministry.

Volunteer Your Time

Evening Volunteer

We have a daily 7pm - 10pm shift, which consists of manning the desk, checking in guests, overseeing the evening meal, and general fellowship with the guests.

Evening Meal Provider or Coordinator

We are always looking for volunteers to provide meals for our guests
(enough to feed 30 people). A meal consists of a main dish, a side dish, a bread product, 3-4 gallons of a beverage, and a dessert.  Get together with your friends, neighbors or co-workers and help provide a meal for the Shelter!

Special Projects

There also are many projects that need to be done around the Shelter. We rely on volunteers to help with maintenance and upkeep of the shelter. Painting, window washing, carpet cleaning and grounds work are just some of the projects. We also do our newsletter mailing once a quarter and we always need help for that as well.   If you wish to volunteer for any of these projects please complete the application found below and give us a call at 802.862.9879.

Volunteer Application (PDF)

It costs us approximately $2885 per week to keep our doors opent.  We rely on the generosity of people just like you to make it happen since we do not accept state or federal funds. Your donation is important to us and we want to remind you that any monetary donation is tax deductible.
