ORGANIZATION: OPERATION NIGHTWATCH

  • 2 people are interested

About us:

Operation Nightwatch has a six-decade track record of ecumenical ministry. Loving our most-vulnerable neighbors in the name of Christ, together. We do this through street chaplaincy, food, shelter and housing. We are a privately funded, Christian organization. There are no religious requirements for those seeking services. Annually, we have more than 65,000 encounters with folks experiencing homelessness.

This is a fun group project you can do at your convenience! Make sandwiches to be distributed in our Dispatch Center. It can be difficult for us to gauge how many people will come to our nightly meal, so it’s important we maintain a constant stock of sandwiches to pass out if we run out of food early. Sandwiches preferred are Turkey/Ham & Cheese or PB&J.

About OPERATION NIGHTWATCH

Location:

302 14th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144, US

Mission Statement

Operation Nightwatch pulls homeless people out of doorways, finds them shelter and food, and gets them started on the road to recovery. Operation Nightwatch began in 1967 with ministers, nuns, and other religious workers from various churches taking turns going out on the streets, visiting bars and shelters, simply being a presence late at night. In the 1970s Nightwatch became a place for homeless people to be dispatched to shelter. Now about 85 homeless people are served nightly. Shelter is provided off-site for men every night.

Description

Volunteers help homeless people by preparing and serving meals at night, assisting with placing homeless people into area shelters, distributing essential supplies, and listening to the stories homeless people have to share. We do not require any religious activity on the part of clients or volunteers, though we are broadly Christian. Operation Nightwatch also provides support to our 24-unit senior apartment building. Volunteers can provide a variety of support services for individual senior tenants, most of whom have experienced homelessness prior to arriving at Operation Nightwatch
