The Dorothy Day Hospitality House is staffed exclusively by volunteers. Therefore, we are always looking for individuals and groups who enjoy making a difference. Volunteering at the House provides opportunities for meeting and working with many interesting and wonderful people in a warm environment. Whatever talents or gifts you or your group have to offer, we look forward to meeting and working with you. An individual or group can volunteer at the Dorothy Day Hospitality House once a month or more, as it fits one's schedule.
If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email with your name and your area of interest to our volunteer coordinators:
We will be sure to get back to you shortly. Thank you for your consideration!
** Please note: shift volunteers must be at least 18 years old. **
Our primary opportunity for individuals involves working as a shift volunteer. Shift volunteers manage guest registrations, mingle with our guests, provide hospitality to the homeless, and help our guests with other needs. We need volunteers to help us at least every other week at the front desk during our current daily shifts:
7-9 am: Morning shift
4-7 pm: Afternoon shift
7-9:30 pm: Evening shift
We are also in search of additional evening meal volunteers. Each night, volunteers prepare, serve, and clean up a dinner meal for aproximately 15-20 guests.
