Volunteer

We have a variety of ways you can get involved at the Mission!

Any minor must be accompanied by an adult, and the adult must be actively participating.

Kitchen

Groups interested in providing a meal or desserts can contact us to schedule a date. Each meal serves approximately 100 people. See meal times.

For serving meals and not bringing food, we prefer ongoing/recurring volunteers (e.g. serving the same meal each week).

Email Clarissa.

Sort donations, price items, clean, organize displays and inventory, etc.
