Ways to Volunteer

Individual Church Corporate Women's Auxiliary

Church & Sunday School Opportunities

Opportunities abound for the church or Sunday school class that is looking for a way to minister to the needy. Take a look at some of the suggestions below.

For more information, please contact Randy Daniels at (901) 526-8434, ext. 1008.

Serve a Meal

Your group can come serve lunch or dinner any day of the week. This is a simple way to help care for our guests, and it is not time-intensive. Call now to schedule a time for your group to help out!

Special Note About Serving Meals on Weekends : Saturdays and Sundays are very popular days for volunteers wanting to serve meals. So if you're interested in serving on the weekend, please call at least 30 days in advance. Also, please have at least two dates in mind when you contact us. Thank you!

Hygiene Kit Drive

If you're homeless, receiving a hygiene kit with a new toothbrush, and other toiletry items can be a precious gift. You can help by filling bags with inexpensive items like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tissues, and lotion. These basic supplies can make a difference in how homeless live -- and feel about themselves.

Clothing/Food Drive

Organize a canned drive or clothing drive. The Mission is always in need of new socks, underwear, suits and shoes in all sizes, canned goods, and other non-perishable food items.

Sponsor a Meal

To take a step further, provide an entire lunch or dinner by paying the cost of the meal (approximately $300), prepare the food, and serve it to our guests.

Chapel Services

Pastors, choirs, singing groups or drama presentations are always appreciated in our chapel services.

Crusade Sponsors

Every May, we hold a week-long outdoor crusade at our shelter. We are always looking for churches or Sunday school classes who can sponsor one night of the event by:

  • Underwriting the cost of one evening ($2,000)
  • Cooking the food
  • Serving the meal to our guests
  • Providing the music and preaching
  • Providing counselors

Song Service

Individuals or groups are always welcome to come to the Mission to sing during chapel services or during meal times.

Adopt-A-Family

Churches or Sunday school classes can make the difference for some of our participants by taking a wish list from one of our families and help make their stay special.

Host a Holiday Party

During special occasions (Christmas, Easter, 4 th of July, Super Bowl, etc.), you could host a party that would mean so much to our guests.

Seasonal Decorating

Use your decorating flair to spread some holiday cheer at the mission. How about purchasing and donating decorations for our one of our buildings and spice it up for one of the holidays or seasons.

Adopt-a-Room

Churches and Sunday schools are needed to adopt a room at Moriah House, our women's program. Add some furniture, pictures or flower arrangements and bring your own personal touch to make the women's stay more cheery.

Book Drives

Facilitate drives to obtain quality books for the Mission's programs.
