St. B's

Room in the Inn, 2020-2021

GENERAL

St. B’s volunteers host 12 carefully screened homeless guests every Saturday evening through early Sunday morning from November 1 through March 31. Various helpers are needed to:

team up with other volunteers to purchase and prepare a hot dinner plus sack lunches for Sunday
Host the guests overnight by sleeping at St. B’s. Hosts usually drive the church vans to and from the Campus for Human Development downtown to pick up and take back our guests.
distribute JeSU items
provide breakfast foods for the overnight hosts to serve (do not have to be present to serve)
do 3 - 4 loads of laundry (St. B's linens and towels) each week.

Volunteers may choose to help with one or all of these tasks. Males and females are equally encouraged to volunteer with each of the tasks. Families are invited to sign up together as well.
