Host or Co-Host

Since 2004 faith groups and  congregations have welcomed the families of Winter Nights into their social halls. They provide a communal living space, access to bathrooms, and coordinate a team of volunteers to prepare meals, organize activities, do laundry and sleepover each evening. Often host congregations are supported by a co-host group who take on additional days of volunteering. The result is an effective and powerful collaboration, bringing together many different faith communities in Contra Costa to support families at their time of need.

Winter Nights will be adapting this model for the foreseeable future, due to coronavirus protocols. While these restrictions may limit the time volunteers can spend at the shelter, it does not mean that volunteers are not needed.

Over the years more than 60 faith groups and congregation have come together to host or co-host the shelter.  If you are interested in joining them please contact us at info@cccwinternights.org  for more information.
