HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Orange County Rescue Mission!
Our goal is to offer a hand up, and not just a handout, to homeless individuals and families
who are working towards becoming financially self-sufficient. There are various
opportunities to volunteer as individuals, groups and families:
- · We encourage you to start with an INTRODUCTION TO VOLUNTEERING by
joining us for a tour with our Volunteer Department Assistant at 714-247-4368. - · The Rescue Mission has SPECIAL EVENTS year-round and is often in need for volunteers. For more information, email volunteers@rescuemission.org.
· GROUP VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES are very popular at Orange County Rescue Mission. We recommend scheduling group volunteer opportunities two months in advance, at
minimum. During the holiday season, we recommend scheduling 3-4 months in
advance as they are especially popular during that time. We offer group volunteer
opportunities in the following areas: kitchen, warehouse, chili van outreach
with the children, among others. For more information, visit our website at
https://www.rescuemission.org/volunteer-organized-groups/ .
· We are always in need of INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS who
can commit to ongoing volunteer service in the following areas: kitchen, warehouse,
tutoring, driving, outreach, with the children, and more. For more information,
visit our website at https://www.rescuemission.org/volunteer-individuals/.
· If you have completed your individual volunteer onboarding (including
background check, waiver, and live scan when applicable), please email volunteers@rescuemission.org to schedule your volunteer service.
