Crisis Cold Weather Shelter Volunteer

Crisis Cold Weather Shelters are open November 1st through March 31st on nights when temperatures are 32 degrees or lower. Our shelters save lives and would be impossible without our 400+ community volunteers. Volunteers are critically needed for a variety of roles with Crisis Cold Weather Shelter sites; not only staying at shelters overnight, but also helping to serve meals, deliver supplies, and transport pets. All volunteers will go through a site-specific training and shelter coordinators are always available via phone to answer questions. Overnight volunteers are needed from approximately 7:30 p.m. – 7:30 a.m., are always paired with another volunteer, and can sleep for part of the night. Most overnight volunteers work 1-2 shifts per month.
