The Cathedral Center's Emergency Shelter serves women and families experiencing homelessness. At any given point, an average of 50 adults and children reside at the shelter, and can stay for up to 90 days.

Volunteers help us keep things running smoothly and provide the comforts of home through our Hospitality Program

Individuals and groups can sign up to provide a hot dinner which they purchase, prepare, and/or deliver to our clients on one-time or recurring basis. Our Hospitality Program is great for parish groups, clubs and organizations, corporate groups, and friends and families who want to serve a home cooked meal with a friendly face. Hospitality volunteers are needed every day of the year, including holidays! We prefer that Hospitality volunteers provide and serve the meal; however, if you are interested in serving but unable to provide the meal, we do have several dates per month available for serving-only volunteers. Likewise, volunteers who are able to provide the meal but not serve it would have the option of dropping the meal off for Shelter staff to serve. 

Our minimum volunteer age permitted is 13. Volunteers ages 13-14 must each be accompanied by their parent or guardian while volunteering. Volunteers ages 15-17 must be accompanied by an adult volunteer at ratio of at least 1 adult for every 5 youth.

As a proud participant of the We Honor Veterans program, veteran or current military members will have the unique ability to support Heartland Hospice veteran patients through the "vets-for-vets" volunteer opportunity. Heartland Hospice volunteers help to support and enhance the quality of life of those they visit.

We recognize that veterans share a special bond among each other. The goal of our vets-for-vets volunteer opportunity is to match veteran patients with a hospice-trained veteran who may have a similar background. All patient visitor volunteers receive training regarding the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members, as well as, helpful skills in caring for and communicating with hospice patients and their families. Volunteer hours are flexible and scheduled according to your availability and location.

Interested applicants will: be at least 18-years-old, complete initial application paperwork, agree to a background and reference check, attend a volunteer orientation and complete a TB test.

Volunteer: Assemble "Treat Bags" for our Shelter Guests!

PURPOSE: Guests are appreciative when we offer Treat Bags at lunch, dinner, or as a snack throughout the day. They appreciate the delicious foods, the fun presentation, and the knowledge that someone in our community is thinking of them. Additionally, Treat Bags can be part of the many ways that guests’ basic and emotional needs are met, allowing them to better focus on their progress and goals.

DESCRIPTION: Your group will plan, purchase ingredients and assemble single-serving Treat Bags. These consist of disposable cellophane, plastic, or paper baggies filled with purchased or homemade snacks/sweets. This is a great at-home volunteer option for younger groups and families. You can also prepare them on-site and receive a tour. We ask for Treat Bags in increments of 30 (30, 60, 90, etc.).

NOTES: Homemade snacks, such as trail mix, puppy chow, and cookies, are welcome. For these items that lack labels/packaging, please date each baggie with a sharpie, referring to the day the food was made (this can be small, in the corner). Additionally, please. make sure any nuts or common allergens are more obviously labeled- we recommend using a white label sticker, with a printed or handwritten message.

- A handwritten card or note in each Treat Bag is not required but much appreciated. Similarly, paper baggies can be decorated. Please keep notes respectful and free of religious notions or personal contact information. A Guest House staff member will read through all cards- therefore, please either make them visible through the bag, or choose a resealable bag that we can access.

- We love offering guests fruit, but it can get mushy quickly in a baggie. Please include any fruit donations separately, and we will hand out with the Treat Bags.

- Single-serving drinks are not required but appreciated. Feel free to include in Treat Bag, or donate separately and we can hand out with the Treat Bags.

- This volunteer activity is specific to food and drink items. Please do not include hygiene items, gift cards, or money in Treat Bags

Volunteer: Food Sorting to Solve Hunger

Thank you for your interest in helping us to solve hunger! We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities at our Milwaukee food bank. We welcome individuals, families, corporate and social groups. 

Volunteers participate in sorting, packaging, labeling, and cleaning projects. This could range from labeling canned goods to be shipped to food pantries, sorting meat products to provide meal programs with real protein, boxing fresh produce to send to homeless shelters, or packing bulk product into family friendly sized portions. Our staff will give you specific information about your task and assist you through your shift. Please note this volunteer activity takes place in a warehouse facility. For safety concerns, volunteers who are 10-13 years old must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the volunteer activity.

 

Surfaces, equipment and tools are sanitized after each volunteer shift. We may ask our volunteers to assist us with the process.

Volunteer Requirements & Information

Must be able to stand for extended periods of time. Must be able to lift up to 20 pounds. Must wear closed-toe shoes. Volunteers must be at least 10 years old. Youth, ages 10-13, must be accompanied by their parent or guardian. Groups of school-age youth (schools, clubs, churches, etc.) require one adult chaperone for every 7-10 volunteers. All volunteers under 18 must have a parent or guardian initial and sign their liability waivers.

Due to the nature of working with mostly donated foods, volunteer projects are not always guaranteed to come in on time or at all. Volunteer shifts may need to be shortened or rescheduled if projects are completed or unavailable. We will make every effort to provide a two-week notice if volunteer shifts will need to be rescheduled.

Please register to participate through the volunteer portal on the Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin website: https://feedingamericawi.org/get-involved/volunteer/in-milwaukee/.

Volunteer Sessions
