Drop-in Volunteers support our community drop-in lunch and dinner programs, and other programs. They serve coffee, sandwiches, and other snacks; clean up after guests, do dishes, and other tasks to keep the place running smoothly.
But most importantly, Drop-in Volunteers work to ensure that the drop-in is hospitable and welcoming to all, helping us to build meaningful relationships with people who may not have that luxury elsewhere.
