About the event
Switchpoint provides emergency shelter for families and individuals experiencing homelessness.
Our goal is to help people move out of emergency shelter and into permanent, stable housing as quickly as possible. While we work on housing solutions with our clients, we offer them shelter that is safe, respectful, and effective. We always focus on the individual and do our best to serve the specific needs of diverse situations .
All of the food for meals served in the shelter are donated and we are grateful for individuals and community partners that provide this resource. We have many community members that help by preparing and serving meals too!
What will volunteers do?Volunteers work together as a team to prepare and serve hot meals to our Switchpoint residents and others on campus.
What will volunteers need to bring or wear? Wear clothes you won't mind getting stained or dirty and closed-toe shoes.1 Shift
