Thinking Outside the Box

What makes you feel encouraged, connected, and supported? Maybe it’s a good conversation, helping with a practical need, exercising with a partner, or creating something beautiful

God has equipped each of us in unique ways to love our neighbors well. That’s why volunteer opportunities at the Mission aren’t limited to those you see online. Volunteers serve throughout the Mission in more ways than we can count — teaching, mentoring, sharing hobbies and skills, meeting practical needs, and simply spending time with our guests.

Our Volunteer Experience Team would love to speak with you about how your gifts, talents, and heart might meet a need and reflect God’s love to our homeless neighbors.

We are meant to do life together! Get in touch with us to explore ideas and discover how you can bring the love of Jesus and hope for a new life to our neighbors.
