Serving Dinner at the Delores Project Women's Safehouse!
2021-05-12 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Denver)
Serving Dinner at the Delores Project Women’s Safehouse, Wed. May 12th, 5:45-7:45PM, 4 Volunteers minimally are needed. The Delores Project has made adjustments due to the pandemic to make us safe as well as the residents safe. The kitchen and dining room are cleaned before and after each meal. The dining room is arranged for social distancing and they only have a capacity of 32 and do regular COVID testing. We will be wearing masks & will be provided disposable gloves. Our group will just be in the kitchen and will be eating there. The food is provided, we just need to heat it up and arrange it for the residents as they come through. We will be serving the food but will be in the kitchen area so will not be touching the residents. So many of our volunteers have been requesting this event! We have assisted this women’s safe shelter several times and they have asked us back as we have fantastic groups of volunteers. The shelter is in West Denver. This is a confidential location that is given out to the volunteers after registering due to the nature of the facility. Both male & female volunteers are welcome to assist at this event.

Spring Plant Sale at the Denver Botanic Gardens!
2021-05-08 14:00 - 20:30
Spring Plant Sale at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Sat., May 8th. 5 volunteers are needed. (This event is now on Waiting List status. If you sign up you will receive the automated registration responses but will only be contacted if we have a volunteer cancellation.) The shift they proposed was very long so they’ve worked with us to be a little flexible as long as we have 5 volunteers there at all times. You can sign up for either 2-8:30PM (might get done earlier at 7:30 or 8PM), 2-5:30PM or 5-8:30PM. When you register you will receive an automated response from me. Please just reply right away and let me know what works as far as a shift time for you. They really need our help so I’ll be working to be sure we have enough volunteers for them so please sign up soon so I can coordinate the shift members. They are being COVID safe so weren’t able to use us as volunteers this past year even though I was asking about the Pumpkin Patch, etc. It’s great to be invited back to help again. In order to keep safety protocol they are having people virtually order the plants that they want. We will actually be on the roof of the parking garage across the street from the Botanic Gardens! People will drive up & we will see their order and then pick it up from the group of orders we have there, give it to them, and they’ll drive on. It sounds like a unique and fun experience!

Serving Dinner at The Denver Rescue Mission!
2021-04-29 16:30 - 19:00
Serving Dinner at The Denver Rescue Mission, Thurs., April 29th, 4:15-6:45PM, 5 volunteers will be needed. The Denver Rescue Mission was the last event we did in March of 2020 before COVID shut down our events for months. They have adjusted for COVID safety and are now serving dinner to about 3 times as many men as before! This has always been one of our volunteers’ favorite events where they feel they are really contributing to the community. I’m glad we can start doing this safely again! The Denver Rescue Mission is located in Downtown Denver but they do have a couple parking lots where we can assist. They presently are serving up to 2000 meals daily! The last time we were there we helped serve 761 meals. Since this event is a little earlier in the day I know it interferes with some peoples work schedules & I need to promote it a little longer. Please sign up soon if you can help so I know we have enough volunteers!

We are going to continue helping them occasionally as they get this bi-monthly event going. The Action Center normally provides food to about 60 low-income people daily. They did that during the week days. During the COVID-19 crisis days the number has gone up to around 200 so they started the Saturday program! We do a variety of activities such as packing boxes, sorting food, loading food into cars, etc. They are very careful to be sure the volunteers are safe during this pandemic. We will be working in small groups of volunteers in open areas to accommodate social distancing. Everyone is required to wear a mask, disposable gloves will be provided, they have temperature check stations, hand sanitizer, etc. This is a great way to help our community when so many individuals and families are short on food these days! The event will be in Lakewood.

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 & children 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 we will have an opportunity to eat as a group and also enjoy the meal. We then 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 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 and there are sinks for handwashing and sanitizer. During this pandemic time, they are using disposable dishes and utensils and most residents then eat in their rooms instead of the dining room and they have an extra table in front of the food line to keep everyone 6 ft. apart.

The event is being held at a church in Highlands Ranch where they are having a donation drive. We will be doing things such as helping to direct traffic, handing out donation information, we may do some lifting of donations, and will be thanking the donors as they leave! Habitat has been very good & safe to work with during the pandemic! We all need to wear masks. They will take temperatures, provide gloves, and will keep us socially distanced. Customers at the ReStores, who will benefit from the Donation Drive, shop for household items at huge discounts. These items are really needed by families especially this year when many families are shorter on funds. All profits support Habitat for Humanity’s home ownership program for low-income families.

Everyone is welcome. After you sign up you will receive all the details. This is a great time to get to know some of the other members, albeit virtually.

Bella Boutique Packing
2020-09-26 09:00 - 12:00 | Bella Boutique, Commerce City, CO, United States
Bella Boutique Packing
4 Volunteers are needed.
Many of you may remember that we have helped the Bella Boutique previously as Personal Shoppers as they provide free Prom dresses, shoes & accessories to low-income teens that are referred by educators, coaches, pastors, other community leaders or those who qualify for a free lunch. This non profit allows teens to have a great prom experience which might they might not otherwise be able to do because of financial limitations and is the only 501(c)3 non profit to do so. Well, this year has been different for everyone due to the pandemic and the 2020 proms weren’t held. The Bella Boutique is moving.
We will be helping at one of their shifts to help pack up the prom shop as they get ready to move back into storage as they await Prom 2021. Volunteers will be sorting donations and packing dresses, shoes, and jewelry into storage boxes in preparation for moving day. They really need our help as their inventory didn’t get depleted this year due to the lack of proms. We won’t be doing the actual moving, just helping with the packing of these items which are clean and were ready for this year’s proms.
This is another service we can provide to a non profit which is aiming for social distancing. All volunteers should wear masks and comfortable clothes. The event is in Commerce City near I270/Vasquez.
(As we are in the process of putting together our new web site you are not presently able to register for this event on the SVGD web site. If you wish to assist at this event please email: event@svgd.org . You will receive an email acknowledging your registration & then another the week prior to the event with all the details.)
