Become a Volunteer

At Ruth & Naomi’s Mission, volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. Every day, we walk with people from crisis to stability — and we can’t do it without you.

Whether you’re passionate about food, mentoring, teaching, driving, or simply showing up with compassion — there’s a place for you here.

Opportunities to Serve:

We need volunteers across all areas, including:

  1. Kitchen & Meals – Help us serve 300+ meals daily with dignity and care.

  2. Emergency Shelter & Pillars Program – Support guests rebuilding from homelessness and addiction.

  3. Supportive & Family Housing – Assist residents with practical support and community connection.

  4. Events & Food Market – Help with celebrations, food distribution, and outreach.

  5. Men’s & Women's Recovery Programs – Lead workshops, encourage peers, and support healing.

You Can Make a Difference By:

  1. Driving participants to appointments

  2. Leading creative or hands-on programs (art, music, woodworking, bike repair, etc.)

  3. Teaching life skills (budgeting, cooking, financial literacy)

  4. Leading hikes, walks, or rec outings

  5. Being present, mentoring, and encouraging

Come once, come often — your time matters. Many teams also sponsor meals or events to multiply their impact.

Volunteering here is more than a task. It’s a chance to be part of real change, hope, and transformation.

Let’s build a stronger community, together.
