Our Volunteers


The volunteers are amazing... We seem to develop a comarade that none of us would have outside of the ministry. One volunteer told me last night that it is so cool to serve along side people from different backgrounds who just love hanging out with the homeless. He added that others don’t know what they are missing. From our desire to serve, we develop lasting friendships. Gordon, who has been coming about 3 months, filled in for Paul and provided everyone a powerful message. Another slipped me a very generous check for the ministry which we always need. That family supports us with their time and money. What a blessing.

It is always good to see volunteers bring new volunteers with them. Last night one lady brought a couple who jumped right in cutting and chopping in the kitchen and later working in the “dish pit” A job that not everyone wants to tackle.

I can not leave out the homeless volunteers. “Frenchie” always loves to serve and then there was “Frog” who couldn’t wait to start cleaning up and carrying out the trash. He has not been well physically in the past, but tonight he was much better and had to strength to help out. Everyone volunteer is appreciated.
