Grace House (small homeless shelter) breakfast and/or sleep shift volunteer

Volunteers are an essential and vital part of Grace House! Our volunteers not only provide shift coverage, they also bring a positive connection to the local community and the world-at-large for our guests. Grace House would not exist without its dedicated community volunteer corps.

Volunteers are needed on site Monday through Sunday, 365 days a year.

Grace House currently seeks volunteers to fill the following shifts:

• Morning Shift:  6:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. on weekdays, 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m on weekends
  Announce breakfast time, set the table, serve breakfast. Chat with guests if you'd like.
• Overnight Shift:  10:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m. on weekdays, 10:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. on weekdays
  Interact with guests, announce bedtime/enforce bedtime rules, tend to guest needs that may arise throughout the shift.  Generally volunteers are able to sleep through their entire shift, in the provided volunteer room with a bed. 

Volunteers must pass a background check and participate in a volunteer training session. Grace House provides volunteer training on the second Monday of each month from 5:00-6:30 PM, or as needed.
