Overnight Shelter Innkeeper

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: HIS COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS

HIS Coalition for the Homeless is a 501c3 that serves to bring awareness to the plight of the homeless and to complete the work our Lord asks us to do, "Love thy neighbor as thy self."

We will be collaborating with another non-profit, Maureen's Haven, to coordinate and facilitate their overnight winter shelter program on the following dates:
  • Thursday, January 30th
  • Thursday, February 6th
  • Thursday, February 27th
  • Thursday, March 13th
  • Thursday, March 27th

We are looking for two innkeepers per night to supervise and socialize with up to 15 overnight guests. Those with mental health and/or safety training are highly encouraged to apply (ex. social workers, mental health counselors, retired security guards, etc.).

Additional Opportunities:

There are several additional tasks that we will need help with including cot setup and meal serving, meal preparation, shopping, and cooking, and laundry pickup and drop off. Prior volunteer experience is not required, as training will be provided. We only ask that applicants have a heart for the plight of the homeless.

If you are passionate about our mission and would like to be involved, please connect with us at hiscoalition@gmail.com to sign up to assist with the overnight shelter efforts. Additionally, if you know of a church that may be interested in either opening it's doors to host the program or to be involved in any capacity, please help us connect!

Mission Statement

To bring awareness to the plight of the homeless and to complete the work our Lord asks us to do, "Love thy neighbor as thy self."

Description

HIS Coalition for the Homeless is a grassroots organization whose mission is to "bring awareness to the plight of the homeless and to complete the work our Lord asks us to do, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself’". Through our needs-based homelessness outreach, coalition building, and advocacy efforts, members of HIS Coalition work toward achieving their vision of a world where everyone has access to safe, warm, and dignified shelter. HIS Coalition has been in existence since early 2022 and achieved 501c3 status as of May 24th, 2022.

Our short term goal is to provide a warm and safe shelter during the winter months. Our long term goal is to secure a property to provide individual temporary homes where individuals can recover and know that they are safe, loved and encouraged to move into a future filled with hope. Volunteers are needed! Join us on our journey to complete the work our Lord asks us to do. "Love your neighbor as yourself"
