Answer the Call
Will you help our neighbors experiencing homelessness? Will you help fuel the ministry at OurCalling? Every day at OurCalling a couple dozen people answer that question by volunteering in various ways to care with dignity, connect with intentionality, and create a community with integrity. Volunteers are essential and valued at OurCalling. Weekday volunteer opportunities are more focused on providing meals and resources to our guests, while Saturdays are geared toward guest engagement and developing community.
Ways You Can Serve
Coffee & Pastry Service
This early morning opportunity allows volunteers to prep and serve coffee to our guests. This is ideal for morning people and those wanting to serve before work.
Guest Intake
This seated opportunity is great for people who enjoy relational ministry. Volunteers will get to know our guests, pray with them, and assist with putting in their resource orders. Volunteers in this area get to be the welcoming face to our guests coming into OurCalling.
Guest Services
This opportunity is fun for those who like to go shopping. Volunteers get to shop for clothing and hygiene resources from our Resource Room, and get to assist with laundry and shower services.
Women’s Center
Serving in the Women’s Center is a great opportunity for women to interact with other women. Volunteers will help with resources, laundry services, cleaning bathrooms, and playing games or puzzles.
Warehouse
This opportunity is great for anyone, including families, teenagers, or folks with limited mobility. Volunteers help sort and organize clothing and hygiene donations for our guests.
Meal Prep
All that’s needed to volunteer in this area is enthusiasm and a willingness to serve alongside our Chef and lead volunteers. It is fast-paced and rewarding as we prepare 500+ delicious and nutritious meals each day.
Meal Service
This is such a fun service opportunity! Volunteers assist with plating the meal, handing meals directly to guests, and engaging in making them feel welcome.
Guest Engagement
This is a great opportunity for direct interaction with guests. Volunteers can engage with questions through conversations and games. We encourage sharing the gospel or praying with guests whenever possible.
Street Outreach
This unique opportunity will allow you to go across Dallas alongside our staff to engage with individuals experiencing homelessness. Individuals will hand out resources, engage with guests, and drive around Dallas looking for people reported through our App.
