VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Children’s Program: Be a role model for the children of Sacred Heart Shelter! Help create a safe, fun place for children to just "be kids" as they build healthy relationships and explore ideas and feelings about themselves and others through play and activities. The Children’s Program happens Tusday, Wednsday and Thursday, 6:30-8:00 p.m.

Office Support: We like to think of these volunteers as ambassadors of the shelter. The office volunteer answers the shelter door and phone and helps residents with daily requests and performs various duties as needed. Volunteers are needed from 9:00 am to 6:00pm each weekday. The typical shift is 2 or 3 hours.

Dinner Cooks: Prepare evening meal for up to 30 residents of the shelter. Groups or individuals are welcome to cook a meal consisting of an entree, vegetable, bread/starch, and 2 gallons of milk or juice. We prefer that volunteers cook the meal on-site and provide the ingredients. Dinner is typically served at 6:00 p.m.

Miscellaneous: Occasionally volunteers with specific skills do projects like tutor residents on job search techniques, help with our special events, or plant a vegetable garden. Do you have a particular skill or interest? Talk to us!

Description

ABOUT US
The Sacred Heart Shelter is located on lower Queen Anne and is a temporary shelter that offers a safe, home-like refuge to homeless families in Seattle. Sacred Heart functions under the premise that every person is entitled to a safe place to sleep. We believe that the transition from homeless to housed is one that takes time, effort and perseverance. Sacred Heart Shelter operates as a support network for people as they go through that process. The staff works with residents to develop goals, obtain health and dental care, job and parent training, childcare and ongoing support and assistance towards the ultimate goal of locating stable, permanent housing.
