SDR Park Mobile Outreach

Save to Favorites

Serve our most vulnerable neighbor on the street on Thursdays for two hours! Please use this link to register on specific dates: https://cityrelief.vomo.org/opportunity/2025sdr

Volunteers will meet City Relief staff at Sarah D. Roosevelt Park on the South Side of Delancey Street between Christie and Forsyth at 10:45 AM.

Volunteers will join together with City Relief staff and our community partners to throw a block party and create a welcoming environment!

Volunteers assist with a variety of activities such as

1. Setting up tables, chairs, and tents on the street.
2. Pass out beverages and snacks to visitors at the outreach hub.
3. Maintain a high level of cleanliness at and around the outreach.
4. Travel in teams walking around the nearby area to meet tangible needs (socks, clothing, and snacks) and offer connection to resources with a City Relief Staff person’s guidance.
5. Assist with site clean up and breakdown of tables, chairs, and tents.

Volunteers are encouraged to personally interact, through conversation, hospitality and even prayer with the people we serve. As a volunteer, you will help connect guests to City Relief staff for a Life Care Visit; a conversation where hope and tailored resources are offered.

We look forward to seeing you at City Relief!

*Please note that all City Relief outreaches take place outside rain or shine.

Minor Policy: Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. If you’re under 18, you'll need an adult chaperone (one for every four minor volunteers) and a parent’s consent to participate.

Attendance: Please stay for the entire outreach. If you can’t commit to the full time slot, choose a different date when you can stay from start to finish.

What to Wear: Since all our outreaches are outdoors, dress for the weather and wear closed-toed shoes. Avoid expensive clothing, jewelry, or anything with inappropriate messages. Try to bring only what you need.

Summer Tips: Wear modest clothing, like longer shorts and t-shirts. If you burn easily, pack sunscreen and a hat. Closed-toed shoes are a must.

Winter Tips: It gets cold and windy, so layer up with a warm coat, hats, gloves, and boots. Consider extra layers like insulated pants and multiple socks for added warmth.
