Cuts for Christ Volunteer

AMANDA MCRAE

Being a volunteer at Jesus House is eye-opening and rewarding at the same time. It will be busy, rewarding and even challenging but filled with giving, interacting with others at a personal level and discovering what it means to be compassionate to others every day. If you are willing to give of your time and of yourself, you should go into it with the thought of "How can I help others by my actions today?". When you volunteer at Jesus House you will get that opportunity!

MACKENZIE JACKSON-RUTH

Helping wherever help is needed and giving back to others is what being a volunteer at Jesus House is all about. Talking to the Jesus House clients and homeless has really gotten me to step outside my comfort zone and grow into a more outgoing person. I developed real-life connections with people in the community and gained hands-on experience of Christ-centered serving. This is a place for volunteering face to face. Be prepared to open your heart and arms to those who need it. Listening to and praying over others is important in this environment.

GENA FREEMAN

I love volunteering at Jesus House because we are saving people’s lives! We are bringing them to the Lord, giving them their dignity back and raising their self-esteem. God put Jesus House in my life, so I could use my skills to serve and help others. Every day I volunteer is valuable and fulfilling.

Donation Volunteer

Donation volunteers help us organize, categorize, and care for physical donations. If you have a keen eye for organization or structure, this is the place for you! These donations can include clothes, household items and more.

Kitchen & Dining

Volunteer

Our kitchen is always a busy place and requires volunteers with high energy. Usually, this is where our most social volunteers thrive. Kitchen and dining volunteers help the day to day maintenance and operations of the kitchen and dining room.

Education Volunteer

One of the most important aspects of Jesus House and what we aim to do is teach and foster those who need it most. Above all else, patience, kindness, and honesty are essential for being an education volunteer. Education volunteers may assist with literacy, GED classes, financial management, mentoring, ministry, or sponsorship.

Facility & Decor Care Volunteer

Jesus House resides in a historical school building from the 1940s, so we're always using unique methods to improve and refurbish. Facility and decor volunteers care for and maintain the facility, grounds, and decor. It's not uncommon for these volunteers to work on refurbishing, painting, and cleaning.
