Full Description:
Could you give up some time to volunteer at Open Door on Boxing Day?

We are in search of volunteers who can inspire hope and joy in others. The Night Shelter is open every day and Christmas is no exception, however some of our regular volunteers will be taking a well earned break over Christmas and we have some gaps to fill.

The Boxing Day, we invite you to join us at the Open Door Night Shelter on Bricket Road, where we open our doors to those who need us most. We're excited to serve a delicious Roast Gammon to 17 people, and we're looking for competent chefs to take on this task.

Lunch is served at 2:30pm. We believe that together, we can make a difference in the lives of the homeless during this challenging time of year. So if you're passionate about giving back to the community and spreading love, we'd be honored to have you with us.
