St. James' Saturday Soup Kitchen

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: St. James Episcopal Church

Join our all-volunteer crew on Saturday mornings to provide a safe space for socializing for our unhoused and low-income neighbors.

Why:

The primary impact of this event is the provision of dignity and respect for our unhoused neighbors, in a safe place run by kind and generous volunteers. Most of those who we serve are loyal regulars, some of whom continue to attend even after they've found affordable housing. The services we provide--home-cooked meals, clean clothes, social activities, and conversation--help to create a sense of self-esteem for people whose lives are otherwise full of stress and vulnerability.

What's Expected:

Volunteers work together to create a safe space for socializing. Activities include the preparation and distribution of hot meals throughout the morning, organization and distribution of donated clothing from the clothing shed, and help with special activities including an art table, board games, music, and lending library.

At the end of the event, volunteers help to clean up and return tables and chairs to storage. We have a strong core of experienced volunteers who show up weekly. They will be ready to welcome you and orient you to all our activities.

What's Required:

Because those we serve tend to be older and chronically homeless, many come to us struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. Your familiarity with trauma-informed care is a plus. We provide basic tips about this approach in our volunteer agreement and during a quick orientation on your first day of volunteering.

We require all volunteers to be at least 18 years old. We are willing to work with younger volunteers under certain conditions, described in our volunteer agreement here: https://forms.gle/a12PZXM7drm1z2Au7

Accessibility:

All our activities are wheelchair accessible.
