WHP connects volunteers with new tenants by offering volunteers the opportunity to provide personalized housewarming gifts along with useful household supplies and décor to our new tenants.
For individuals or groups interested in preparing meals for our shelter clients, LSA offers a bi-monthly opportunity to feed those experiencing homelessness. The dinners are typically on Sunday and can be served anywhere between 4-6pm. This opportunity is open to both individuals and groups!
