People Serving People is proud of and grateful for the community of dedicated volunteers who’ve supported the shelter and our guests in the four decades since we first opened. While some of the volunteer opportunities that we previously offered may no longer be available, there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved at our shelter! We look forward to expanding our volunteer program in the years ahead.

CURRENT PROGRAMS
Meal Service
People Serving People’s meal program is one of the largest operations in the whole shelter, both in the number of people it serves each day and in the number of people needed to keep it running smoothly. Help ensure meals get to families on time serving meals in our dining hall. All volunteers must be 18+ or 13+ with a chaperone.
We are seeking individual and groups who are willing to commit to a one-time, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly shift for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Shifts have space for 4-6 people depending on the meal. Shift availability may vary due to preexisting volunteer schedules. Shifts are available at the following times:
- Breakfast: 7:30am – 9:30am daily
- Lunch, 11:30am – 1:30pm daily
- Dinner, 4:15pm – 6:30 pm daily
If you are interested in committing to a regular schedule, please contact us at volunteering@peopleservingpeople.org, or by phone at 612-277-0246 or check out our volunteer page at Meal Service at People Serving People.
