In this role, volunteers coordinate with our kitchen staff to provide nutritious meals to our patients during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Typical responsibilities include setting up the dining room for meal service, preparing food, meal prep, serving plates, washing dishes, and cleaning up the dining room after service. This role provides the opportunity to work closely with staff and get to know our patients. Volunteers in this role are welcome to enjoy a meal with patients. Currently, our biggest opportunities to serve are weekday breakfasts and lunches, but we welcome volunteers on weekday evenings and weekends as well.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please create an account here: christhouse.volunteerhub.com. Our Volunteer Manager will reach out shortly to schedule an orientation. Once you have attended an orientation, your account will be activated and you will be able to sign up for shifts.
You can also email our Volunteer Manager at volunteers@christhouse.org for additional information.

About CHRIST HOUSE
Location:
1717 COLUMBIA RD NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20009, US
Mission Statement
The mission of Christ House is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for people experiencing homelessness with acute medical needs in the District of Columbia and to offer assistance in addressing critical issues to help break the cycle of homelessness.
Description
Christ House opened in December 1985 as the first 24-hour residential medical facility for homeless persons in the United States. Today, Christ House is the largest facility of its kind in Washington, DC. Since our inception, we have had over 9,500 patient admissions.
Patients are admitted to Christ House from area hospitals, shelters, clinics, and medical outreach projects. They suffer from a variety of illnesses and injuries including cancer, hypertension and stroke, liver disease, kidney failure, diabetes and related amputations, HIV/AIDS, respiratory disease, major lacerations, fractures, and ulcerations of the skin. Many are malnourished, anemic, depressed, and desperately disconnected from healthy sources of support.
