Volunteer
New Friends Homeless Center is looking for volunteers over 18 to help on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons. We need kitchen staff, servers, and security volunteers to assist with preparing and serving meals. Every role plays an important part in making sure our guests receive the food and support they need.
If you're looking for a way to give back, we’d love to have you join us!
Family Giveback Program
The Family Giveback Program is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers under 18, accompanied by a parent or guardian, to make a meaningful impact in a safe and supportive environment. Young volunteers can help distribute essential donated items—such as clothing, blankets, sleeping bags, hygiene kits, pet food, and more—to those in need.
As part of this program, families can also organize donation drives, such as collecting blankets, socks, or hygiene kits. Volunteers and their family & friends can gather gently-used or new items from their homes and schools. Then, they can personally hand them out. This is a great way for young people to get involved, give back, and experience the joy of helping others while fostering a spirit of generosity and community support!
If you are interested in volunteering or giving donations, please contact us.
