Volunteer With Us
We’re relaunching our volunteer program and we’d love for you to be part of it! We have the following positions available:
Community Meal Providers
Food Program Volunteers
Material Donations Volunteers
Community Meal Providers prepare and donate warm, nourishing meals to one of our four shelter sites in Barre, Barre Town, Berlin, or Montpelier.
Volunteers may cook on their own or gather friends, family, or colleagues to share the experience.
To simplify scheduling and coordination, we’ve created Meal Trains® for each shelter site. Click the link to learn more and sign up to donate to a specific shelter.
We need folks to help with a few Food Program needs, such as:
•Folks who can lead cooking classes and help prepare meals on site
•Folks who can help pick up food from partners and deliver food to our four locations
We need more help with material donation support!
If you enjoy hands-on organizing, we’d love to hear from you.
Donations sorting and storage volunteers support in person by sorting, organizing, and preparing donated items for use in our shelters.
Moving Day Support
A moving day is an exciting milestone—it’s the day someone leaves shelter behind and begins a new chapter in a place they can call home. We’d love your help making that transition a little easier.
We’re looking for volunteers with flexible schedules who are available on short notice to help move furniture and personal belongings into a guest’s new apartment. Volunteers should be comfortable lifting and carrying items such as mattresses, bed frames, dressers, tables, chairs, and boxes.
Because housing opportunities can come together quickly, moving days are often scheduled with little advance notice. Having a team of volunteers we can call makes all the difference in helping our guests settle into their new homes.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please complete our volunteer application or contact us to learn more about becoming a Moving Day Volunteer.
Spring & Summer Vegetable Garden Help
Guests and staff have been preparing the garden boxes at the Welcome Center, and are anxiously awaiting planting season!
We can always use some extra hands for the vegetable gardens and other campus landscaping needs.
