Sunday van driver and Day Resource Center Coordinator needed!
Volunteers play a significant role in all the programs of Foundation for the Homeless. Our volunteer base is diverse and experienced in many areas. These volunteers are from local congregations, schools and colleges, community groups, and the private sector. They are people who for one reason or another want to share their time, hope, and compassion.
There are many ways you can support FFH as we serve children, their families and homeless individuals in a spirit of compassion, hope and love. We have an immediate need for a Sunday Van Driver and a Sunday Coordinator. Please click on the links for more information about the specific jobs.
