Volunteer opportunities

Volunteers have joined us because of their interest in fostering genuine, supportive relationships with community members confronting the challenges of poverty and mental illness. 

 

Volunteer as a Companion

Volunteer Companions support and empower others through forming genuine relationships that promote positive connections to the greater community. From meeting with participants one-on-one to hosting gatherings at the residential properties, volunteers offer the gifts of time and presence to residents. Learn more about companionship here!

We are currently not accepting new companion volunteers, but please check back shortly. Thank you!

Volunteer With Our Food Program

We recently partnered with an organization in Kenmore to donate food to our pantry at our Central District apartment building. The Community Food Program Volunteer keeps our community food pantry running by picking up food donations and delivering them to our residents. This brand new position is central in our Food Program and will be directly supplying 14 residents with fresh groceries.

This position is well-suited for friends or partners who would like to volunteer together. If you are interested in volunteering with someone, each individual needs to complete an application below and make a note of who you are applying with.
