Volunteering

Residents receive a meal every evening provided by Meal Providers, affording food stability to residents.  Meals may be catered or prepared at home and should be delivered to the shelter no later than 5:00pm after getting put on the schedule.

Front Desk Volunteers are instrumental in maintaining the smooth operation of Chattanooga Room in the Inn by overseeing facility access, greeting visitors, and answering phones.  Effective communication and flexibility in task execution further contribute to the overall functionality of the organization, ensuring a positive experience for all visitors and contributors.

We are excited to announce plans for a thrift store! Once we have a location, volunteers can start almost immediately. Until then, you can be on our mailing list to receive updates and learn what will be needed and when.

Child Advocates actively engage in Children's Enrichment activities, fostering healing and joy through thoughtfully designed, playful experiences that promote child development. These activities include games, storytelling, skill-building exercises, and movement, providing a secure and nurturing space for children to flourish and explore.

Every facility has ongoing maintenance and groundskeeping needs.  Ours is no different.  If you are skilled with tools, construction, repair, upkeep, or landscaping, this is the role for you!

Providing life-skills education, our instructors teach classes on budgeting, credit counseling, personal hygiene, parenting skills, nutrition, and anger management.  Sign up today if you teach a skill that could be useful to our residents.
