Volunteer
Volunteers are vital to Saint John’s success, providing crucial support to our mission and staff. With only a small team, volunteers make Saint John’s run – and run well! Whether you’re available once a week, once a month, or every once in a while, you can make a valuable contribution to the program.
Current Opportunities
If you have never attended a New Volunteer Orientation, you’ll need to register as a volunteer and attend our next orientation. If you’re a returning volunteer, we invite you to log into our volunteer system to register for a volunteer opportunity.
Assist our chef in daily food production (lunch and dinner). Tasks may include peeling, chopping, mixing, cooking, processing food donations, and light cleaning, as well as serving a meal to our women and children.
Assist in one of our offices with basic clerical duties, including data entry, help with bulk mailings and organizing projects. You may also be asked to help out with phone calls to our donors and volunteers.
Play with and interact with our kids! You may also be asked to help with tasks like preparing art projects for our teachers or helping out with light chores.
