Open Heart Refuge was established by Open Heart Kitchen in January 2024 in response to rising housing costs and the growing need for shelter in our community. While many of us take basic necessities-food, showers, and a warm, dry place to sleep-for granted, our neighbors without permanent housing are often in survival mode and struggle to access these basic necessities.
Open Heart Refuge meets these adults where they are and offers them access to services and resources that support stability and a healthier future. To learn more about his program visit: https://www.openheartkitchen.org/refuge
Why We Need You
Over a year since its opening, Open Heart Refuge continues to rely on the support of compassionate volunteers to work alongside our Shelter Coordinators. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to play a supportive role in ensuring the shelter runs smoothly and that guests feel cared for and respected.
Volunteer Opportunities
- Check-In Shift (5:30 PM - 8:30 PM): Assist the Shelter Coordinator with setting up the shelter, checking in guests, distributing meals, and engaging with guests to create a welcoming atmosphere.
- Quiet Time Shift (8:30 PM - 10:30 PM): Help transition guests to the sleeping area, monitor the shelter during quiet hours, and assist with any needs to ensure a restful environment.
Your time and kindness can make a world of difference in the lives of those we serve. Join us and help bring hope and stability to our neighbors in need.

Equitable access to nutritious food today while building a food secure tomorrow.
Description
Open Heart Kitchen provides equitable access to nutritious food while working toward a food-secure future. Serving the Tri-Valley, we meet immediate needs through programs like Senior Meals, Community Meals, Mobile Pop-Up Pantries (grocery distribution), Open Heart Food Bank, and Open Heart Refuge (overnight shelter operating 365 nights a year).
Our guests include seniors, the unhoused, underemployed individuals, and low-income families, all relying on us as a safety net against hunger. We are committed to addressing both the root causes of hunger and the urgent needs of our community.
