Description

Volunteering for dinner service at PATH's Connections Housing Join PATH San Diego and Urban Angels to help serve healthy and delicious meals to our 134 residents. By providing a meal to someone in need, you are making a difference in the community and the lives of others. We prepare dinner every night of the week and need your help to serve it. Please note we have changed our meal service guidelines to adhere to all safety procedures and keep our residents, staff and volunteers safe. We are following a mandatory indoor masking policy so please bring a mask. Key Responsibilities:-The shifts are from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm and you will help chef and a few other volunteers prep and plate food for dinner, breakfast and lunch. Dinner gets picked up by a staff member and brought upstairs to the resident floors and breakfast and lunch get rolled into the fridge for staff to pick up the following morning and afternoon. For questions or concerns, please contact Sigrid Struben at [email protected] or 619-810-8606.   FAQs Are there ID or minimum age requirements to volunteer?

There is metered parking on the surrounding streets for $1.25/hour, as well as pay lots on the surrounding blocks, such as Ace Parking. Carpooling is highly suggested. We are also only 1.5 blocks from the C Street trolley exit. Can I get my hours verified for school or work? Yes, PATH can provide a volunteer service letter to verify your hours for school or work purposes. PATH does not accept court ordered volunteers and cannot provide verification of hours served.  PATH is committed to ending homelessness for individuals, families and communities. We do this by building affordable rental homes and providing supportive services. In early 2013, PATH San Diego, and its development partners – Affirmed Housing Group and PATH Ventures – created Connections Housing, an integrated service and residential community in Downtown San Diego that is designed to help local homeless neighbors rebuild their lives and move into permanent housing. Since opening, PATH San Diego has served over 1,300 people, and helped 800 of our homeless neighbors Make it Home. PATH San Diego is part of PATH’s statewide initiative that has helped nearly 8,000 people move off the streets, out of shelters and into permanent homes since 2013.
