Evening Hospitality

Evening Hospitality

Hospitality volunteers create a warm, inviting environment for guests through personal interactions and supportive tasks. By engaging in one-on-one conversations, sharing meals, or playing games, volunteers help foster a sense of community and connection. In addition to these interactions, Hospitality Volunteers assist with simple tasks to support the needs of guests. This role is essential for building rapport and ensuring a positive experience for everyone at the shelter.

  • Engage with Guests: Focus on connecting with guests through conversation, asking about their day, and making them feel welcome. Emphasize community by building personal connections.
  • Check In: Coordinate with the Lead Volunteer for any specific tasks or, if there is no Lead scheduled, direct questions to the staff shift lead. Assist the Lead Volunteer by welcoming and orienting new hospitality volunteers, addressing any questions or concerns, and ensuring smooth interactions between volunteers and meal teams.
  • Support Tasks: If needed, assist with additional tasks such as:
    • Making coffee
    • Putting away food and donations
    • Cleaning the kitchen area
    • Warming up meals for late-arriving guests and making lunches for approved guests

  • Comfortable working and interacting with large groups of people.
  • Friendly and outgoing demeanor.
