Winter is coming

We are all expecting to feel the chill this winter but none more so than the homeless community.

This winter (after two years break due to covid health restrictions) we will once again be hosting homeless guests at Holy Spirit. The Robes night shelter is an enormously rewarding way to make a difference locally. We will be hosting Saturday night and Sunday morning for the first three weekends in December (3/4 Dec, 10/11 Dec, 17/18 Dec), and possibly the last weekend (31 December/1 January).

We are looking for volunteers to help out.  Training and support are provided and there is always an experienced Team Leader on hand. We need people to help:

• Set up beds and tables

• Cook food (this can be dropped off and can be veggie, meat, or desert)

• Serve food and wash up

• Greet guests

• Stay overnight

• Cook breakfast in the morning

• Wash up and pack away.

We’ll have up to 15 guests from all kinds of backgrounds.

Please do talk to neighbours and friends locally who would like to help out their local community with a supportive team.
