S’mores on the Street With Safehouse Outreach

Every year for Thanksgiving, Safehouse Outreach nurtures a gathering space for those experiencing poverty and/or homelessness by creating meaningful connections between community members through food and service.

What to Expect: Volunteers will make s’mores, serve meals, assist with clean-up, and make stronger connections with fellow community members in need.

Notice: Due to a high volume of demand for volunteer participation and limited space to accommodate groups, only very limited spots are available. Volunteer registrations are first-come-first-serve. If you need to cancel, please let us know at least a week in advance. Thank you for supporting Safehouse Outreach!
