ORGANIZATION: HIS COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 33 people are interested

HIS Coalition for the Homeless is a 501c3 that serves to bring awareness to the plight of the homeless and to complete the work our Lord asks us to do, "Love thy neighbor as thy self." We are currently looking for volunteers for a variety of roles as we develop our emergency winter overnight shelter program in the Brookhaven area.

This program will operate out of a local church (location TBD), and will serve approximately 10 guests per night one night a week. Prior volunteer experience is not required, as training will be provided for all positions. We only ask that applicants have a heart for the plight of the homeless. As our program is not yet in operation, this opportunity has been posted to spread awareness and to gauge interest of potential volunteers. Shift days/times are to be determined.

Available volunteer positions will include:

  • General setup and breakdown of shelter beds
  • Guest registration
  • Meal preparation and food distribution
  • Overnight supervision of guests
  • Laundry assistant
  • Fundraising for future program needs
If you are passionate about our mission and would like to be involved, please connect with us at hiscoalition@gmail.com to find out how you can support our "heart work"! Additionally, if you know of a church that may be interested in either opening it's doors to host the program or to be involved in any capacity, please help us connect!

Mission Statement

To bring awareness to the plight of the homeless and to complete the work our Lord asks us to do, "Love thy neighbor as thy self."

Description

HIS Coalition for the Homeless is a grassroots organization whose mission is to "bring awareness to the plight of the homeless and to complete the work our Lord asks us to do, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself’". Through our needs-based homelessness outreach, coalition building, and advocacy efforts, members of HIS Coalition work toward achieving their vision of a world where everyone has access to safe, warm, and dignified shelter. HIS Coalition has been in existence since early 2022 and achieved 501c3 status as of May 24th, 2022.

Our short term goal is to provide a warm and safe shelter during the winter months. Our long term goal is to secure a property to provide individual temporary homes where individuals can recover and know that they are safe, loved and encouraged to move into a future filled with hope. Volunteers are needed! Join us on our journey to complete the work our Lord asks us to do. "Love your neighbor as yourself"
