Volunteers are the heartbeat of First Light. Volunteers established First Light. The shelter in the basement of First Presbyterian Church was operated solely by volunteers. Even though First Light now has a staff providing social and administrative services, it is the presence of volunteers who are here daily and nightly which allows the center to survive. Moreover, the continuing presence of volunteers gives witness to all our guests, past, present and future, that they are not alone or forgotten by the community at large.
There are numerous opportunities and connections you can enjoy including:
- Serving on the Board of Directors
- Bringing and serving breakfast or dinner
- Staying overnight
- Conducting a group activity for the guests
- Volunteering personal services such as manicures, makeovers and haircuts
- Donating a block of seats to the circus, the ballet or a concert
