URGENT: Emergency Warming Center Volunteers in OTR

Get Connected Icon Jan 31, 2026 through Feb 1, 2026

Description

Due to dangerously cold temperatures, St. Francis Seraph Ministries is being activated as an Emergency Warming Center in Over-the-Rhine (OTR). We urgently need compassionate volunteers to help us care for our neighbors who are most vulnerable during this extreme cold.

Volunteers will help with:

  • Serving meals to guests throughout the day

  • Assisting with bag check

  • Sanitizing and cleaning the dining room and lobby

  • Offering warmth, kindness, and hospitality to our guests

There are three shifts available each day, and you can sign up for the one that best fits your schedule:

  • Morning Shift:  6am - 10:30am

  • Mid-Day Shift: 10:30am - 2:30pm

  • Evening Shift:  2:30pm - 6:30pm

This is a powerful way to make a real impact in our community during a critical time. Your presence helps ensure that our guests have a warm, safe place to be and a hot meal during life-threatening weather conditions.

To sign up, please use our volunteer scheduling tool and select a shift that works for you:
