Volunteer Opportunities

Due to COVID-19, St. Francis House is continuing to follow the local, state, and federal guidelines concerning COVID-19, therefore we have extended our suspension of in-house volunteer opportunities until it is safe to resume again. Please follow us on Facebook for the latest updates.

• Individual and Group Volunteers: All individual and group volunteers are canceled until further notice. This includes regular volunteer shifts, community service shifts, brunch meal groups, group workdays, etc.
• Evening Meal Groups: We still accept the food that you are scheduled to provide for our shelter guests; however, we cannot allow anyone inside the building to serve the meal. Dinner is served at 6 p.m. each night.
• Donations: We are only accepting non-perishable food items and NEW blankets, socks, and coats. Accepting drop-off donations at our shelter, located at 413 South Main Street, Gainesville, between 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. daily (including weekends.)
