Our Partnership
Mobilizing Volunteers
Our volunteers serve breakfast, build relationships with and lead a devotion time with guests, and set-up and clean-up for the soup kitchen and food pantry. Volunteers also assist with youth programs and movie nights.
Making Grants To Fund Programs
Our funding helps cover the costs of nutritious meals for guests, kitchen supplies (including a commercial stove and refrigerators), other soup kitchen materials, and a gospel-centered youth group curriculum.
Training And Consulting
Our capacity building has helped to provide strategic planning, board development, leadership development and fund development projects.
Volunteer Opportunities
To me when someone said they loved me it meant they wanted something from me. The love I experienced was ugly and life was overwhelming. When I came to St. Paul's House I was overcome, I was moved. They were speaking about a different kind of love. And this love had an effect of me— it was God's and it touched me. I not only heard it but I saw it through the staff and volunteers; it was pure, sincere, genuine, and loyal. I feel like I am a part of a family— a loving one.
