Shelter Support & Activity Volunteer

Partner Description

Mercy House helps people find their way back home from homelessness to permanent housing for low income families and adults. Their mission is "to be a leader in ending homelessness by providing a unique system of dignified housing opportunities, programs and supportive services".
Need
Walk alongside neighbors transitioning out of homelessness by creating a warm, supportive community environment! Emergency shelters require a team of dedicated volunteers to keep daily operations running smoothly. Whether you are serving a hot meal, organizing supplies, or leading a fun activity, your presence brings hope and encouragement to shelter residents.
More Details
This is an incredibly rewarding, interactive opportunity for individuals or groups looking to serve on the front lines. Volunteers can choose from a variety of flexible service paths across regional navigation center locations (including sites in Anaheim, Buena Park, and Huntington Beach).

Available Roles: Serving breakfast, lunch, or dinner; hosting client game nights; sorting donations; managing storage organization; and assisting with facility setup or cleanup.

Frequency: Opportunities are available as often as daily!

Requirements: Because this opportunity takes place inside a secure facility with vulnerable populations, all volunteers must complete a partner registration profile and clear a background check prior to scheduling a shift.
Next Steps
Sign up today to express your interest in volunteering! Once you register, check your inbox for a follow-up email containing the external registration link to submit your volunteer application and initiate your background check.
