Volunteer Opportunities

Evening Volunteer

Volunteering in the evening from 6-10PM offers the opportunity to spend time with our guests. Part of your evening will be spent helping the guests get settled when they arrive at L&F. Once dinner is served to the guests, you can sit down and enjoy dinner and lively conversation with the guests.

Dinner Provider

What a great opportunity to try a new recipe. Dinner Providers can work alone, as a family, or pairing with antother volunteer. They buy the ingredients and prepare a complete nutritious dinner for 15. The dinner is then delivered to the L&F by 6:00 PM. What a great way to help the homeless.

Yard & Maintenance Volunteer

L&F works to be a value to the community by maintaining its properties. If you like working with your hands, this is the place for you to volunteer. We have grass to mow, flowers to plant and snow to shovel and plough. We also have minor repairs which have to be done both inside and out.

Ensuring Guest Safety and Privacy

Loaves and Fishes Ministries values our volunteers! We also strive to ensure the safety and privacy of the guests we serve. Before volunteering at Loaves and Fishes Ministries, all potential volunteers must  first have a police background check completed and must agree to our L&F privacy policy and our non-discrimination policy.

In working to build responsible relationships with our guests and with each other in service to our guests, potential volunteers must read and sign a Code of Professional Ethical Conduct agreement ensuring privacy and ethical treatment of our guests. This will be provided by  the Volunteer Coordinator during your training session at the shelter before volunteering for a shift.

The first few shifts are completed with an experienced volunteer. All volunteers are encouraged to attend periodic Volunteer In Services to meet other volunteers, get important updates, share experiences, ask and have questions answered. Please complete the Request Volunteer Information Form to start the application to be a volunteer at Loaves and Fishes Ministries.
