We are gearing up for our summer heat respite program which will run June 13-August 26, Monday-Friday, 9:00 am-4:30 pm. This will be our 17th summer of providing heat respite! Our mission during the summer months is to provide a space for heat relief while building community through the sharing of community resources, meals, water, and ourselves in a place of being, belonging, and becoming.
We are in need of:
Kitchen Hosts who will welcome and orient volunteer groups to the kitchen, organize/serve breakfast and afternoon snack, and oversee the kitchen on their scheduled days.
Kitchen Cooks who will create meal plans, grocery lists, cook, and oversee the serving of lunch on their scheduled days.
Kitchen Helpers who will assist hosts, cooks, and volunteer groups in the kitchen.
Welcome Volunteers who will greet guests, assist with sign in, answer questions, receive donations, and tend to various and sundry tasks at the Welcome Table.
Room Volunteers who will help with set up and clean up, take out trash and recycling, assist with receiving donations, and various and sundry tasks in Hope Hall.
If you are interested in volunteering, please be in touch with our outreach coordinator Ksea (outreach@graceinthecity.com), Solveig Muus, or Pastor Sarah (pastorsarah@graceinthecity.com). Thank you for helping provide space for heat relief and build community at Grace!
