In our Winter Weekend Day Shelter (WWDS) we invite volunteers inside to experience a unique opportunity to connect with guests. Through games and activities or just showing up to chat, volunteers show guests they are loved. We call this Presence Ministry and it’s an important way we build community.
Many of our former guests say that it was the genuine love and care they experienced from staff and volunteers that broke through and helped them connect with God.
Volunteers often return after falling in love with presence ministry and the chance they have to engage more deeply with the guests we know and love.
