All Saints Hosts Family Promise
August 22 - 29, 2010

Family Promise is an organization that serves families temporarily displaced from their homes by providing housing through churches in the community.  Our next set of guests will be staying with us August 22 - 29.   We will need lots of hands to turn our church into a comfortable home for our guests.  Below is a description of the types of volunteers we need. 

Sunday Room Setup - After the church service on Sunday, August 22, we will need assistance setting up guests' rooms and other areas in the church prior to their arrival.  

Evening Hosts  (5:45pm - 8:30pm) - Coordinating with members of Congregation Beth Yam, volunteers prepare dinner for the guests and bring the food to the church to be served between 6:30 pm and 7:00 pm each night.   There should be enough food to feed approximately two families with very young, children plus the hosts. Hosts serve dinner, eat with the guests, assist in clean up and socialize with the guests and children.

Overnight Hosts (8:30pm - 7:00am) - Overnight hosts (ideally, one man and one woman) spend the night sleeping at the church.  They help with a light breakfast and are available in case of an emergency during the night. 

Daytime Hosts - These volunteers would be available during the day on Saturday, August 28 to spend time with our guests.  The actual activities will vary, but could be going to the beach or a pool, out to lunch, going for a walk to Jarvis Park, or just hanging out at the church.

Sunday Clean-up Crew - Prior to church on Sunday, August 29, we will need some extra hands to help guests pack up their belongings and restore the Sunday school classroom.

If you would like to volunteer, please provide your contact information in the form below and click on Submit Form at the bottom of the form. Your form will be sent directly to Ginny Trolley.  Orientation and training will be provided for new volunteers.
