There are many ways to serve as a volunteer with SF Connect. This organization is able to provide services to thousands of San Francisco Homeless only due to the dedication of the numerous volunteers and organizations that come together to serve the neediest of society. If you become a San Francisco volunteer, you will have a choice between many different services that the project provides on a regular basis.
Homeless people read and enjoy literature as much as anyone. This is why the project runs a book giveaway. Besides donating books to this service, volunteers can assist in organizing the inventory and helping interested clients find the books they want or need.
Cafe connect gives both homeless members of the San Francisco population and others a chance to sit, talk, drink coffee and have lunch together. Volunteers can help facilitate these meetings by serving food and cleaning up afterward. This is a good way for people to learn about the project in a more relaxed environment.
Computer proficient people who are interested in serving as volunteers can help with data entry. Many of the services provided by Project Homeless Connect call for taking and storing data about clients in the project’s computer. This data not only provides statistics, it also helps medical and other professionals track information about patients and clients and helps them serve the San Francisco homeless community better.
The Food Bank is a critical part of any organization that interacts with the homeless. Volunteers can help with stocking and laying out food. Breaking down boxes, heavy lifting and generally aiding the distribution process are tasks that make demand son the physical resources of volunteers.
These are only some of the many services provided by SF connect. Other services include legal aid and information distribution. People interested in volunteering should not fear that they do not have a skill that the project would find useful.
