Group Opportunities
Donating your time and talents to a group can create an unmatched sense of camaraderie while helping neighbors who are vulnerable and experiencing homelessness.
Roof Above gives out 300+ bagged lunches daily, for over 100,000 per year. This opportunity is a great way for volunteers, regardless of age, confidence level, or size of the group, to participate in helping our neighbors.
The support of our community in helping supplement meals for our neighbors makes a HUGE impact to our mission here at Roof Above.
Thank you for wanting to help join in the sandwich and bagged meals programs!
