ORGANIZATION: Family Promise Mat-Su

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 3 people are interested

This opportunity allows volunteers to bless our homeless shelter parents and children with fellowship, and a listening ear. The shift is 5:30pm to 9pm and includes sharing the guests' dinner (delivered or you can bring with you). This is family style dinner, group clean up, and then optional games, cards or just visiting. Your job is hospitality, to make our guests feel comfortable, at ease, and at home.
Our shelter program includes the families' pets (in our separate pet facility), so there may be opportunity for pet-fellowship as well!
