Needs From: Winona State University

Volunteer: Winona Catholic Charities Overnight Shelter

At the heart of the Overnight Shelter – Winona is the affirmation of human dignity. We believe volunteers bring a sense of community and compassion to the shelter that cannot be replaced.

Volunteer opportunities vary—from serving soup and coffee during the evening intake period, to assisting with morning wake-up and hygiene, to participating in one-time large group service projects.

Because the shelter serves a vulnerable adult population, all volunteers are required to complete a background check before serving our guests.
