Volunteering offers a unique opportunity to provide Food For The Soul, both for those you serve and for yourself. At the Provo Food & Care Coalition, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness by offering something invaluable: genuine human connection. This isn’t just about providing meals; it’s about fostering friendship and building a supportive community.
Become a Volunteer Conversationalist
As a volunteer, your primary role is to engage in meaningful conversations with the people who come to the shelter. By simply listening and sharing, you offer dignity and respect, reminding individuals that they are seen and valued. This simple act of human connection can be incredibly powerful food for the soul, offering comfort and a sense of belonging.
Volunteer Commitment: Flexibility is key. There’s no fixed schedule – join us whenever you are available. Visits are scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM at the Provo Food and Care Coalition (99 E 900 S, Provo, UT). For those interested in carpooling, meet at the Wilk roundabout fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled time to connect with other volunteers.
Step 1: Sign Up for a Visit
We offer three weekly opportunities to connect with our friends at the Provo Food & Care Coalition. Volunteer slots are limited to 5 people per visit to ensure meaningful interactions.
