Catholic Social Services would love to host your group of volunteers for a day, morning, or afternoon of service! Group volunteer opportunities include cleaning, organizing, and other projects as they come up.

Group Volunteering Opportunities

Welcome Center Deep Clean Team

Description:  The Welcome Center is home to our  Fresh International Garden (FIG) program. Volunteers come together to do a deep clean of shared spaces—helping create a bright, organized, and inviting environment for our refugee and immigrant community and staff who work there.

Tasks may include:
• Wiping down tables and surfaces
• Organizing supplies
• Cleaning windows, floors, and common areas
• Light rearranging to refresh the space 

Ideal for: Small groups of 5-7, co-workers or family, who need a flexible schedule for volunteering, one-time volunteer opportunities. Complete the Group Volunteer Application if interested.  This is a group-only volunteer opportunity. 

Time commitment: The time is about 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the group 

 

Meal Assembly for Brother Francis Shelter Guests

Description: Offering meals-to-go for BFS clients and visitors, particularly on weekends when sources of meals are less available, is a valuable service for those navigating homelessness. Volunteers pack 120 breakfasts and 120 lunches, assembly that requires no cooking, just a space to have an assembly line packing bags. 

Ideal for: Small groups of 5-10 who need a flexible schedule for volunteering, one-time volunteer opportunities. Complete the Group Volunteer Application if interested.  This is a group-only volunteer opportunity. 

Time commitment: The time is about 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the group, plus delivery to BFS after meals have been assembled.
