Volunteers donate thousands of hours of service each year and are an important part of fulfilling the Presbyterian Night Shelter’s mission. Without volunteers, our staff simply couldn’t provide the services and programs our clients need.
Please note that we have updated some of the volunteer procedures. If you have questions about these changes, please contact the volunteer coordinator.
