Local Volunteer Opportunities

Warming Center

As the winter progresses, the Catholic Charities Warming Center provides warm beds and hot meals to the unhoused in our community 7 nights a week. The Warming Center continues to be in need of volunteers to bring meals and/ or to help with the evening intake as well as the early morning breakfast and sign-outs.

Although the UU is well represented on our third Friday shift we started in November, there are other times when there are not enough volunteers and the staff (usually 2 staff members) are forced to go it alone with no help. If you are interested in helping (or finding out more), take a look at the volunteer website to see what is available —> CLICK HERE

Kane Street Gardens

Our ongoing involvement with Kane Street Gardens includes installing a gravity irrigation system, building handicap accessible raised bed gardens, and making plant identification signs. Many of us help with daily work at the gardens.
