Volunteers for Parkhaven Warming Center and the White Pony Express

Parkhaven Warming Center and the White Pony Express

The White Pony Express Free General Store is partnering with Parkhaven Community Church in Concord to provide food, clothing and overnight shelter to people who need these services. The program supports approximately 40 members and is focused on helping families with children, and the elderly. The church is located at 1187 Meadow Lane, Concord.

The White Pony Express is asking for volunteers to join us in supporting this program. WPE’s Homeless Services will run an onsite Boutique Closet where clothes will be stocked for guests to select as needed. We will prepare and distribute Breakfast to Go, prepare and serve Weekend Dinners and take Laundry to an offsite laundromat for processing.

There are many ways individuals and partnership organizations can help; and many volunteers are needed.

Please consider the following opportunities and let us know which of the services interest you. We are hoping that volunteers are able to sign up for these services on an ongoing day of week basis.

Prepare Breakfast to GO Daily
Distribute Breakfast to GO Daily from 6:30 to 7:00am at Parkhaven
Prepare Weekend Dinners Saturday and/or Sunday
Serve Weekend Dinner (Set Up & Clean Up) Saturday and/or Sunday from7:00 to 8:30pm at Parkhaven
