Drueding Centeris a unique transitional housing program for homeless mothers and their children.
While we have a facilities staff, we are always in need of Housekeeping and Building Maintenance Volunteers to help support our mission. "Handy" men and women with various skill sets are encouraged to share their talents.
Our Residential Building houses 30 families at a time, with shared kitchens, family lounges, study rooms, food pantry, library, and computer center. We also have a Child Care building across the street.
We are in need of a group to do some paint touch ups around the buildings! Flexible schedule!!
If interested, please contact Hillary Davala, Volunteer Coordinator, at hdavala@holyredeemer.com
