Description:

Every night of the year, 30 women from the Noel House Shelter sleep in Bloedel Hall, the same space that SIMS uses for meditation on Tuesdays. Our purpose is to assist the Noel House staff and to provide hospitality to the women who sleep in Bloedel Hall every night. We provide healthy snacks on Tuesday nights to supplement the soup that St. Mark’s provides to the women; we work side by side with St. Mark’s volunteers on Tuesday nights serving the women a hot snack when they arrive in the evenings, and also help fill in holes in their volunteer schedule. There is also an ongoing need for donations of blankets, toiletries, etc. If you are interested in helping out in either of these areas, please contact Jane Cunningham at the email address below.

Description:

Cathedral Kitchen at St. James Cathedral provides a dinner meal 5 days per week for the homeless. The manager of the Kitchen utilizes long-term (3 months or longer) volunteers who come every week and have a regular job that they do every time they come. This develops teamwork, friends, and efficiency. In addition, the manager needs substitutes from time to time. If you are interested, please ask to be on the "sub" list. It's possible that a longer term position could develop from substituting.
