Sojourner House and Positive Avenues have temporarily relocated and are collaborating to provide 24-hour services at the Hobbs Ice Arena for community members experiencing homelessness. Community volunteers are needed to assist at this location.

Volunteers would be serving meals, assisting with activities, and providing general support. Volunteers can also reach out to provide meals that may be needed.

All guests, volunteers, and staff are screened prior to entry and the arena is set up for social distancing for the safety of all. Sojourner House and Positive Avenues staff are assigned to each shift so if someone has never volunteered with us before they will be there for support and explain any responsibilities you would be assisting with.

If you are interested in volunteering during the daytime (9:30am-6:30pm) contact Kim Campy at Lutheran Social Services (Positive Avenues) at (715) 836-5689 or kim.campy@lsswis.org.

If you are interested in volunteering in the morning, evening, or overnight contact Clare Nelson at Catholic Charities (Sojourner House) at (715) 450-1457 or cnelson@cclse.org.
