The Interfaith Community Shelter at Pete's Place seeks to provide valuable service opportunities for volunteers to help create community for a very vulnerable population. The primary areas that our volunteers provide this valuable service are:
SEASONAL OVERNIGHT SHELTER: HOST GROUPS prepare and serve meals, help check in people's belongings and provide a bunk and a sleeping bag. CORE TEAM MEMBERS volunteer more frequently, often once or twice a week, to check guests in and provide continuity to the program.
DAY SERVICES PROGRAM: Day time volunteers help prepare lunches, work in the community closet to sort, fold, hang or distribute clothing to guests, help out with guest registration and intake and/or help move guests along and clean the showers.
Our volunteers are the wind in our sails, and many LASTING FRIENDSHIPS have developed over the years among our amazing and committed volunteers.

Description
The Interfaith Community Shelter at Pete's Place has 3 primary programs: 1) the Seasonal Overnight Shelter (SOS), which runs from mid-October to early May. During SOS, VOLUNTEER GROUPS prepare and serve meals, help check guests in and provide a bunk and a sleeping bag and, most importantly, provide a sense of community for a population that has little chance to interact publicly; 2) the Summer Safe Haven for All, which runs from early May to mid-October. SSHA is a shelter for men and women during the warmer months. Lighter meals are served in the evenings, and Shelter staff primarily perform the tasks that volunteer groups perform during the SOS. (3) Finally, the Shelter provides a wealth of wrap-around services -- showers, clothing, lunches, navigation and referrals to partner providers -- during the Day Services Program, which runs year-round. VOLUNTEERS are a critical component of Day Services, as they prepare lunches, check guests in to the various services and providers, manage the shower, organize clothing and help guests in the Clothing Closet, etc.
