White Flag Shelter Volunteers Needed

WHEN
Open Enrollment
WHERE
Shepherdsville, KENTUCKY (KY)
HOSTED BY
We need your help to staff our emergency night time shelter in Bullitt County.  Volunteers oversee the shelter in 4 hours shifts between 8pm-8am. We also need volunteers to provide a meal each night that the shelter is open. 

Responsibilities include providing a meal and hospitality from 8-10pm.  From 10pm until morning, it is "lights out" and teams of volunteers are there to ensure the safety of the guests.  Many volunteers in the past have used this time to complete craft projects, bible study with a friend, or even catch up on Netflix. 

Bullitt county does not have any type of temporary or even emergency shelter for the homeless in our community.  Unhoused people are living in vehicles, tents, squatting in abandoned properties and various other locations.  During the winter, they do not have protection from the elements.  The White Flag Shelter provides a meal and a warm/safe place to sleep when the temperature is 35 degrees or below.  This will be the 7th season that Mark 12 will operate the white flag shelter.
