SUMMARY:Serving Dinner at the Delores Project Women's Safehouse!

(This event is now on Waiting List status.  If you register you will receive 2 auto responses but will only be contacted if there is a volunteer cancellation.)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.

SUMMARY:Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter!
DESCRIPTION:Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter\,Wed. Nov. 3\, 4:45-7:15PM\, 6 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 & 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. This facility is trying to keep everything safe for volunteers.  Each volunteer should wear a mask.  Gloves will be provided. All volunteers must have been vaccinated!  We will be behind the counter & plexi-glass when serving food and there are sinks for handwashing and sanitizer. The last time we were there during this pandemic time\, they were using disposable dishes and utensils\, most the residents then ate in their rooms instead of the dining room and they had an extra table in front of the food line to keep everyone 6 ft. apart.

I hope you will be able to help at one of the shifts so we can support this great organization safely plus support our SVGD organization!

SUMMARY:Serving Dinner at The Denver Rescue Mission
DESCRIPTION:Serving Dinner at the Denver Rescue Mission\, Thurs. Aug. 5th 4:30–6:30PM\, 5 Volunteers are needed. We will be serving dinner to the homeless in their Downtown facility.  They do have two free parking areas for the volunteers.  For some of the guests\, the meals they serve at the Mission are the only source of nutrition they receive.  They say that “with each healthy meal comes strength to face the new challenges of each day.”  They serve over 600\,000 meals to the hungry each year.  We have helped them several times before\, most recently after the COVD restrictions are lessening\, but they were still very careful to be sure we were socially distanced.  The volunteers truly find this to be a worthwhile experience.

SUMMARY:Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter!
DESCRIPTION:Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter\, Thurs. May 20\, 4:45-7:15PM\, 4 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 & 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. 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\, most of the 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.

SUMMARY:Serving Dinner at the Delores Project Women's Safehouse!
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Spring Plant Sale at the Denver Botanic Gardens!
DESCRIPTION:      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!

SUMMARY:Serving Dinner at The Denver Rescue Mission!
DESCRIPTION: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!
