The Ascension School Homeless Shelter is a non sectarian shelter for a specially prescreened group of homeless who are in a program through www.camba.org. Help set up beds, cook, serve meals and get to meet these very appreciative people. No experience is necessary! COVID-19 guidelines will be in place.

How it works

• You will meet the group at the shelter at 5:45pm
• You will participate in preparing the meals and setting up beds, handing out sheets, cleanup, serving meals, etc.

Other Details

• The entire process takes about 2.5 hours.
• Your $20 donation covers the cost of the food and supplies that the homeless enjoy that night.
• Please only sign up for this event if you are 100% sure you can attend.
• You will get to eat what we cook for the participants.

Can I come alone?  Yes most of our volunteers sign up alone.

Ages: 21+  Most of our events attract people in their 20s to 40s although some events can skew younger or older (50s) depending on the event. Some events are clearly age specific as indicated.   If this is an issue for you contact Dave at the address below and we can usually give you a very accurate idea of what to expect.
