Peace House Community (PHC) is seeking an experienced individual with knowledge of building and grounds maintenance to conduct monthly inspections of our facility and provide guidance on ongoing maintenance needs. This role will advise the Executive Director regarding maintenance needs, and help select contractors when necessary. The volunteer will offer recommendations, not do hands-on work.
PHC's building is less than 3,000 square feet, but it is 11 years old and is starting to show signs of wear. PHC is a community center serving homeless and low income adults, hosting an average of 135 members a day. Our facilities include common rooms, two bathrooms, a commercial grade kitchen, storage area, and the usual building infrastructure.

Mission Statement
Peace House Community (PHC) is a gathering place to belong for economically challenged and marginalized adults in the Twin Cities that is open from 9:30a-2:30p. PHC achieves its mission by offering services that: nourish the community members’ bodies; nourish our community members’ souls; and enrich the lives of our visitors, volunteers and students.
Description
Peace House Community is a small community center/day center serving the Ventura Village neighborhood in south Minneapolis Monday-Friday from 9:30a-2:30p. Our community members live in the neighborhood and face economic instability, housing uncertainty, social isolation, stigmatization, and similar daily challenges. PHC counters these conditions by providing a safe, welcoming, and affirming community that gets to know its members as individuals.
PHC gives its community members the same experience that most people feel when they hang out in a friend's living room. There is always hot coffee, snacks and a hot lunch. There is no pressure, no need to justify oneself, no invasive questions. Coming to PHC means experiencing acceptance and a respite from the chaos of life on the streets.
PHC serves over 18,000 meals a year and provides a variety of services each day including bicycle repair, hand massages, haircuts, clothes mending and more. Most importantly, we provide a space for volunteers and community members to meet, establish relationships and share a common humanity.
