Host a Packing Event
Are you ready to help?
Volunteers amplify our impact
immeasurably with consistent
commitment to our mission. From packing lunches and making soup to the distribution of hygiene kits, our volunteers are the heart of these initial encounters with people experiencing chronic homelessness.
We make volunteer event planning easy so you can focus on making an impact and having fun. You can bring together loved ones, friends, teams, houses of worship, a school, club, civic group, or other organization members. We are extremely flexible and will work with you to find the perfect volunteer opportunity.
