Volunteer Opportunity: Winter Haven Overnight Shelter
by StoutReach
Details
For the eighth year in a row, the Winter Haven overnight shelter in Menomonie will be open for homeless adults. Open on Nov. 15th, Winter Haven is open until March 31st to provide a safe, warm place for adults age 18 and over to sleep overnight, providing food, showers and laundry facilities. In addition to spreading the word, dedicated volunteers are needed to operate the shelter. Two shifts run from 7:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. or 1:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. — and each shift requires two trained volunteers to ensure the shelter can be open.
All training opportunities take place at the shelter at 1518 Stout Road (next to Stepping Stones). The next one takes place on Tuesday, November 12 @ 6:00 p.m. To schedule a training for a group, or for one-on-one training, contact Jill Seichter, communityconnect@steppingstonesdc.org or call 715-235-2920.
