Hi Everyone!
I got involved with Operation Nightwatch during COVID where a friend was looking for volunteers to help cook and serve meals for ~150 people. There were nights where we were able to serve >200 and it was so rewarding that I've continued doing it, inviting friends to my own meal nights, and telling others about Operation Nightwatch! Last year, I got the opportunity to join the Board and have been able to learn more about what Operation Nightwatch does beyond the nightly meal service. Here's how we help:
Food -- Every night at 8 pm, Operation Nightwatch volunteers prepare and serve a hot, indoor meal for about 150 people.
Shelter -- Nightwatch provides emergency shelter for both men and women; 20 beds for men and 20 for women, every night of the year.
Senior Housing -- Permanent affordable housing is provided for 24 formerly-homeless seniors in a dorm-style setting, with shared kitchens and bathrooms. Our Housing Coordinator helps to keep our seniors safe and housed by providing meals, friendship, and support.
Street Ministry -- Nightwatch street ministers and committed volunteers provide food and friendship to people experiencing homelessness. Street teams provide a wide range of services, including ID replacement, bus tickets home, information and referrals. Socks, blankets, food and water are distributed as well.
Case management -- Our Case Manager helps our shelter guests find and connect with resources like jobs and housing.
Medical -- Our medical clinic volunteers provide basic care & referrals for our shelter guests.
If you can't donate but are interested in volunteering or learning more, we can't function without volunteers. They help with nightly meals, street outreach, mentoring, office support, baking, and numerous other ways.
