Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Face to Face. To begin the volunteer process, please follow the link (https://facetoface.volunteerhub.com) to create an account on our online system, Volunteer Hub.

Please note: Our MAKE@HOME programs and our EVENTS do need volunteers to create an account, but do not need to be activated first. When volunteering in the building, we ask all volunteers to wear masks during their shifts. Thank you for helping keep our community safe.

We can accommodate groups as large as 5 people for meal prep and 10 people for meal serving. Periodically, we can schedule groups as large as 15 people.
These larger groups help with gardening, cleaning the facility, organizing the pantry, sorting donations or other tasks that are needed to be completed at the time. We request that groups are flexible in the tasks given and understand that we are limited in how frequently we can accommodate larger groups.

Would you like to make an impact at Face to Face while working from your home, school, office, or religious organization? It is a wonderful way to help our guests and involve children, family or friends at a time that is convenient for you. Consider one of the ways below.
Distribute bags in your school/church/corporate community with instructions to fill the bag with items we need from the list below. Let them know when you are picking up the bags (one or two weeks later), and then schedule your delivery to Face to Face. Here are items that we always need:
Shop on AmazonSmile and support Face to Face at the same time. All you need to do is designate Face to Face as your charity of choice and Amazon will automatically donate 0.5% of your purchase to Face to Face. Remember to shop on smile.amazon.com (it offers the same items and deals as amazon).
These items are helpful when a guest has a specific individual need and does not require a full shower kit.
We thank you for your interest in Face to Face
