Single Volunteers of Greater Denver

Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter!
2020-12-29 16:30 - 19:00 (America/Denver)
Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter, Tues. Dec. 29th, 4:45-7:15PM, 5 volunteers are needed. Many of our volunteers request this event because they enjoy it and feel that it is such a worthwhile organization. The Crossing is a transitional facility between the homeless shelter and getting back into a home. The residents are working and saving up for a place to live. It is drug & alcohol free. Men, women & families reside there. It provides a great service as people work to get back on their feet. Our volunteers will help in the buffet line and may help with some of the meal bags for those who come back from work after dinner time. After we serve dinner you will have an opportunity to put some food in a box if you’d like to bring it home for your own dinner. We do a few minutes of clean up and straightening in the dining room. They specifically contacted us to help as they are very short on volunteers this Fall! This facility is also trying to keep everything safe for volunteers during the pandemic. Each volunteer should wear a mask. Gloves will be provided. We will be behind the counter & plexi-glass when serving food plus they have tables set in front of the serving area to insure our social distance. I was so impressed by how safe it was when we went there in November. They have switched to disposable serving dishes so that all residents can take their meals back to their rooms instead of eating in a group in the dining room. We still get to interact with them as they go socially distanced through the serving line. This should be a great opportunity to help the community in the Holiday Season as we end 2020!
