The Westside Neighbors Network Shelter seeks compassionate volunteers both on- and offsite.
Onsite, volunteers are needed for tasks such as
- preparing and serving breakfast
- preparing and serving dinner
- doing client/facility laundry (machines onsite)
- sorting clothing donations
- general cleaning of the facility
- helping clients with nighttime setup
Offsite, volunteers can help by
- preparing a meal and dropping it off
- grocery shopping
- other errands as needed
Volunteers can sign up for specific tasks on our online volunteer schedule. However, before volunteers are able to access and add themselves to the volunteer schedule, a brief conversation and orientation at the facility with Keith Hughes is required. Also, for liability reasons, all onsite volunteers must be age 18 or older, unless accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian for the entire time they are onsite.
The first step toward volunteering with Westside Neighbors Network is filling out this brief questionnaire. It will tell us a little more about you, and confirm your contact information. Once you submit the questionnaire, a shelter volunteer will contact you to set up a meeting and onsite orientation with Keith Hughes.
