Our Welcome Center is in need of a volunteer for Wednesdays with a vehicle who can pick up leftover school lunches from Sheridan School (4400 36th Street NW) and drop them off at our Welcome Center (4713 Wisconsin Ave NW). It's about a 1-mile drive from the school to the Welcome Center.
Pick up is at 2pm on Wednesday's from Sheridan School to the Welcome Center. There may be some container transfers from site to site, but otherwise it’s no more than a 30-minute commitment.
Volunteers will need:
- their own vehicle
- a valid drivers license
- good communication skills

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."
