Haley House Seeks Summer Volunteers

My name is Rachel and I’m a Live-In Community member at Haley House. We are a non-profit dedicated to breaking down barriers between people, empowering individuals, and strengthening neighborhoods through the power of food and community. Our programs include a soup kitchen, food pantry, community cooking class, an urban farm, and a school garden. 

We have a variety of short-term and long-term volunteer opportunities at Haley House (more information here) and I’m so excited to share that we have opened applications for the 2023 Haley House summer residency! 

Summer residents at Haley House collaboratively manage the Haley House soup kitchen, prepare nutritious meals for experiencing homelessness and hardship, and help create a warm, safe and welcome environment for our guests and the broader Haley House community. They’ll learn a variety of new skills, develop their leadership abilities, and build lasting relationships with other live-ins and guests. Summer residents also get to spend a summer living in the historic South End! 

We welcome 3-5 summer residents for the duration of the summer months, with some flexibility around start and end date. This is a volunteer role, where residents live upstairs and have food and housing in exchange for their service and contributions in the soup kitchen. 

This is a great opportunity for students interested in making a long-term volunteer commitment to Haley House that isn’t the two-year live-in program. Feel free to share the poster I attached below, which includes more information about Haley House and a QR code for the application, with your community! The application due date is March 5th, 2023. Please reach out with any questions – we hope we can have some members of your community be a part of Haley House for the summer! 

With Gratitude, 

Rachel
