2020 Interfaith Overnight Hosts

Each January, First Press Ambler hosts the Inter-Faith Housing Alliance families taking part in a short term emergency shelter program. We share our facilities and hospitality with neighbors who find themselves temporarily homeless. There are many ways you can help.

Overnight Hosts:Two hosts each evening. Arrive by 7:00 pm and depart by 7am (8am Weekends). Air mattresses provided, greet families, make rounds and be a resource for the families.

Dinner Hosts: Prepare and bring a meal to the church by 5:30 PM. Help dinner set up (with the "Opener"). Eat with the families and help clean up afterwards.

Weekly Dinner Coordinator: Make reminder phone calls to those who are providing meals and help coordinate meal variety and any dietary restrictions.

Opener: Arrive to church at 5:30 PM to greet the dinner hosts, set up for dinner and make sure families arrive and sign in. Help orient and introduce the overnight hosts to the families.

Move-in Prepare rooms with furniture, beds and signage. Help set up family room, bathroom, kitchen and dining areas.

Move-Out: Clean up the kitchen, pack up supplies to go to the next church host and put away supplies for the following year.

Location: FPC Fellowship Hall
