Several of the churches who have helped at the Henderson Men’s Shelter in the past are no longer involved or have reduced the number of weeks or days that they will cover. Other individual contributors have moved, changed jobs or have health concerns and can no longer help.
The result is that we just don’t have enough people to help with shelter supervision – particularly on the welcome shift.
We can use men or women (working along with trained staff) from 5:30 – 9 p.m.
PLEASE CALL (252) 432-9494 to volunteer and please take a look at the Shelter Calendar (click here) to see if you as an individual or your church or organization can fill in the blanks for supervision and/or meals.
JANUARY & FEBRUARY NEEDS:
We still need welcome shift volunteers for January 30 and 31.
For volunteers and meals in February, please check the calendar at www.cp-hope.org
Please consider giving one evening of your life to help provide a safe shelter for men in Henderson and the surrounding counties!
