Learn and Serve

This half-day opportunity combines hands-on service with an educational tour of the Inn to provide your group with a deeper understanding of the issues of homelessness, poverty and Boston’s lack of affordable housing. Participants emerge from this session as educated advocates who can bring new insight about the issues of homelessness and poverty to their work places and communities.

 

A session can be designed to meet the needs of your group. We are happy to collaborate with you to ensure that your group gains knowledge of the issues that interest you. Morning and evening opportunities are available. Perfect for groups of 5-15 volunteers.

HARRISON AVENUE

 

Evening Sponsor and Serve

This opportunity allows volunteers to make a fiscal contribution and interact with our guests though hands-on service. Not only will you have the satisfaction of covering the cost of a meal, you will have the chance to see your donation put to work as you help serve a meal to our guests!

 

Unable to cover the cost of a meal? Pine Street still appreciates any donation of your group’s time and energy. Groups are more than welcome to serve meals whether or not they are able to sponsor them. Please note that our meal service calendar does book up in advance so plan ahead! Perfect for 3-10 volunteers.
