Organization Mission:

Mission: To feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless and give people the chance to hope again.

Vision: To end homelessness, one person, one family at a time.

Annually, Hesed House serves more than 1,000 men, women and children through our shelter programs, and an additional 1,500+ through our homelessness prevention, case management, supportive housing and rapid rehousing support!

Description of Volunteer Opportunities:

Youth can do several things to help the guests at Hesed House! This includes hosting a needs drive for items that are most needed in the shelter (eg./ gently used towels and sheets drive), or a specific toiletry drive based on what we are low on at the moment of the drive (eg./ new travel-sized shampoo, soap, etc.)

Youth can also volunteer in small groups onsite (for youth 12 and over) with their parent or approved supervision, and do things such as landscaping and serving a lunch on a weekday.
