One of our goals at the Urban Ministry Center is to provide opportunities for members of the larger community to volunteer and support our neighbors in need. 

Every year, nearly 10,000 regular, seasonal and one-time volunteers lend their heart and hands to our work.  They serve lunch, provide lemonade or tea, manage our weekday services, support the Center with donations, sing with the choir, dig in the garden, advocate for homelessness issues.  Here you may listen to personal stories, give your undivided attention to someone, show respect to those who are often ignored or shunned.  The work at Urban Ministry Center brings change in people’s lives – in the lives of neighbors, in the lives of volunteers. 

We invite individuals and small groups to become a part of this ministry. Please go to Volunteer Opportunities for volunteer application instructions.

HOLIDAY UPDATE:  At this time, we have filled all our needs for volunteers over the holidays.  If you would like to help in another way, we welcome you to consider making a critically-needed donation from our Wish List  or making a financial contribution.
