There are many opportunities to volunteer at Cause for Hope, from a few hours a month to a few hours a week.
Come visit us Monday through Friday from noon until 2:30 PM at the Shrine to see where you might fit in.
Many of our unhoused friends already volunteer in order to keep our
programs up and running. Consequently, housed and unhoused people
work side by side, forming relationships that grow naturally out of
knowing a person's story, having fun and fellowship as community is
formed.
A few areas to explore are as follows:
•
setting up for the Recovery Meetings, which attract from 70 to 90
people daily; preparing coffee, drinks, and snacks; arranging the
chairs and tables, welcoming participants.
•
actually attending the 12-step meetings, which are open to
everyone, whether you identify yourself as addicted or not; hear the
wisdom of Twelve Step spirituality, once described as "a blue-print
for a God centered life".
•
finding opportunities to provide guidance and emotional support as
people in recovery begin to put their lives back together, returning
to school, seeking employment, obtaining permanent housing.
•
helping out in the Clothing Closet, soliciting donations, organizing
donations, distributing clothing on a regular basis.
•
just being present and listening to folks who
have been on society's margins, ignored and
unheard; we all have more in common than
we often realize.
At Cause for Hope we believe that service is
always a two-way street; it is less about "doing
for others" and more about forging relationships
and - as a consequence - perhaps seeing things
differently, breaking down stereotypes, and - as a
result - growing spiritually.
Please visit us, whether you want to volunteer or
not. We would love to welcome you to our
community!
