The Welcome Center, Friendship Place's drop-in center, provides food, coffee, shower and laundry facilities, phone and internet access, case management, free medical and psychiatric care, and other basic needs for individuals experiencing homelessness. The Welcome Center Volunteer Office Manager prepares the Welcome Center for the coming week each Friday morning by maintaining inventory, organizing and sorting mail, and tackling assorted projects, as per instructions from the Welcome Center Director. This is a critical role for ensuring that our staff can provide high-quality services to participants each week. For more information, please contact aburon@friendshipplace.org or at 202-248-3090.

About Friendship Place
Location:
4713 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016, US
Mission Statement
At our core, our mission is to help people facing or at risk of homelessness to secure stable housing and embark on a new chapter in their lives. Our ultimate vision is for DC and beyond to be a place where everybody can find a place they can call "home."
Description
Friendship Place is staffed by over 100 people and has a wide reach in the DC Metro area. The highly successful programs have been given numerous awards, and help make a lasting difference in the lives of over 4,500 people yearly through street outreach, free medical and psychiatric clinic, including drop-in care, case management, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing for veterans and their families as well as job placement and specialized programs. Our program results have been incredibly successful, and various government and nonprofit organizations all over the country are studying our models to replicate our achievements.
Nonetheless, Friendship Place-supported by 26 congregations and more than 300 volunteers a year-retains the feel of a small, caring, neighborhood organization. The most commonly repeated refrain we hear from the people who come to us for help is this: "At other agencies, I felt like a number. At Friendship Place, I’m treated like a human being."
