Who We Are
CARITAS is built on volunteer time and talent: from a one time commitment at an event, a weekly commitment at the warehouse, organizing your congregation to provide shelter and/or host a furniture drive, it is the Involvement of literally thousands of people that allows CARITAS to provide its services to some of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.
Hours vary but direct support is always in the evening. Volunteers get to meet wonderful new people of faith and service and to support and contribute to the success of the CARITAS mission. Volunteers will partner with a CARITAS host congregation in order to assists them in fulfilling their mission of providing a week of shelter to the homeless at their facility.
Some of the areas are to make and serve and evening meal for 40 homeless guests; or make bagged lunches for homeless guests; provide travel to and from showers for guests; provide travel for guests to and from a laundromat or wash guests's laundry at home; provide personal care packets for each guest (travel sized shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.); serve as overnight volunteer; or provide snacks for homeless guests as they await transportation for overnight transportation; or help with unloading or loading of cots and sleeping materials at a host congregation on Saturdays.
