Become a Volunteer

Volunteers are always needed

A large number of volunteers from the San Joaquin area come to Stockton Shelter throughout the year to help the homeless. Our Shelter is open 24/7, 365 days a year and houses about 350 men, women and children per day. Because of the hands-on labor required to provide the services we offer, volunteers are always needed.

We appreciate your help

Whether playing with the children, tutoring, doing landscaping, fixing up a room or one of the many other projects available, your help is always appreciated.

 

Free Parking

Free parking is available on-site.
