Volunteer Opportunities

  • Shower & Laundry Monitors

    Our twice weekly “Shower and Laundry Service" offers on-site laundry and showers at The Salvation Army Gilroy as part of a collaborative program.

    These service days will be held from 8am to 11:30am on Mondays and Wednesdays.

    We need volunteers who are able to assist weekly on at least one of these days to assist clients with these services and monitor shower times.

    If interested, please fill out the form below and indicate your desire in the comment section to be a "Shower & Laundry Monitor.”

  • Hygiene Kit Assembly

    The same things you use everyday to stay clean, well-groomed and smelling fresh are also needed by those we serve who have lost their homes. We distribute thousands of hygiene kits to the unhoused throughout the year, with items like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, razors, feminine hygiene products, and more.

    Every Tuesday, we also need to package a hot breakfast for individuals attending our Unhoused Popup that day.

    We’re looking for a volunteer who can help assemble hygiene kits to distribute throughout the week. You will meet at our offices and we will provide everything you need to provide this service. You can meet at our offices—M-Th, anytime between 9:30am - 4pm—and assemble as many kits as you desire.

    If interested, please fill out the form below and indicate your desire in the comment section to be a “Hygiene Kit Volunteer”

  • Meal Preparation & Service

    Nothing says you care like preparing and serving a hot meal for those who rarely enjoy such a privilege.

    We’re looking for a volunteer group, or a few individuals, who can prepare a home-cooked meal and serve it to our Popup participants on any given Tuesday, from 10am - noon, at our Burger King Popup. Ideally, we’d like to offer this once per month from interested volunteer groups.

    If interested, please fill out the form below and indicate your desire in the comment section to be a "Meal Prep Volunteer”

  • Clothing Closet Organizer

    All the gently used clothing donated by folks like you helps keep our clients dry and warm. We are looking for a dedicated volunteer to work with our Clothing Resource Volunteer to inventory and organized used clothing items, and to fulfill clothing orders for our clients. We need someone who can consistently serve on Wednesdays from 9-11am and also on the last Saturday of the month for the Free Store, which runs from 9-12 at Gilroy High School.
