Our friends and supporters who donate their time and talents play an essential role in our efforts to end homelessness. We are grateful to be joined by more than 5,000 volunteers every year, ranging from corporate, civic and faith-based organizations to individuals and groups of friends and families. Volunteer opportunities are available at our shelter and housing locations throughout Greater Boston.
To Our Dedicated Volunteers
Pine Street Inn is grateful for the support of our volunteers, 365 days a year. We are also concerned for everyone’s health and safety. Given the situation surrounding COVID-19, we have made the decision to suspend all onsite volunteer activities and food donations until further notice. We have several remote volunteer opportunities available below. Our thanks for your interest and service. Please contact volunteer@pinestreetinn.org with questions.
Assemble bags for our Street Outreach team to distribute to individuals on the street. We will provide a list of seasonal items to include.
Host a gift card drive for individuals we support through Street Outreach. Gift cards can be in the $5-15 range and we’ll provide a list of preferred cards.
Every week our staff are working with guests to help them move into housing. Support newly housed tenants by providing a laundry basket filled with a variety of home necessities. We are happy to share a list of needed items.
Get together with your networks to give back. Opportunities available for groups of 2-70 people.
Learn about the application process and opportunities to volunteer with our guests and tenants.
Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, and a soul generated by love.
