Volunteers Needed for Enfield Safe Harbor Warming Ctr Winter 2021

The Enfield Safe Harbor Warming Center will be operating two or three nights per week, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, during the winter months of January 3, 2021- March 27, 2021 as Outreach and Engagement center to assist our homeless here in Enfield during this Covid-19 pandemic.

ESHWC received permission from the Archdiocese of Hartford to use St. Patrick’s Church in Thompsonville, as the Engagement facility, where Enfield homeless guests can enter the building to obtain snacks, socks, winter clothing, and possibly Magic Carpet tokens to connect them with agencies for their shelter needs.

We will be following all safety protocols to ensure that our volunteers and guests will be safe.

We are in of need volunteers to assist us with the setup, cleaning, tearing down and sanitizing, as well help with the flow of traffic and the number of people entering and exiting, assuring they follow safety protocols, helping to distribute the winter goods and snack items, and directing guests to exit through a separate area from the entrance.

Volunteers will be trained in all safety and health protocols, and training is scheduled at St. Patrick’s Church on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 and Tuesday December 15, 2020 both dates at 6:30pm.
