VolunteerOfficeHelp

Nothing would happen at SHIP, it seems, if it weren’t for the dedicated folks who help staff the office.  Office volunteers can help take phone calls, help organize and restock our emergency food pantry, help clients in need (upon request) to fill out and completing the needed forms, for clients and help keep the place orderly.

The faces of our volunteers and staff , are the face of SHIP that our guests see.  Their voices are the voice of SHIP that our guests hear.  If you have time during the week, a morning or afternoon, consider being part of the office staff at SHIP.

Volunteers are needed to assist with:  Helping clients coming to our Safe Harbor in need of emergency food, meals, clothing and hospitality packages.
