Dorothy Day House works to keep homeless families together, and your work will allow these families to feel more at home and comfortable as well as allow the staff to focus on helping more families in need instead of working on house upkeep. Volunteer tasks vary slightly depending on the day but may include cleaning, house maintenance, yard work, and/or sorting donations.
To begin, you'll arrive at the service site for a 9am kick-off and then volunteer from 9am-11:30am. Your t-shirt and project materials will be on site when you arrive. Following the service portion, you're invited to join us at the afterparty at Memphis Botanic Garden from 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm for food, fun, and prizes.
