On Wednesdays and Thursdays, we can always use more volunteers too!

We couldn't do it without the support of volunteers and community organizations: Broward HealthPoint is there with their Mobile Health Unit delivering essential medical services and social services; Showering Love mobile shower bus provides soap, towels and a shower; and free haircuts are available. Every Thursday, 30 to 40 volunteers donate their time and talents to serving others Everyone is welcome to come and volunteer.
