Make a Difference This Holiday Season with Shelter KC

The holiday season can be a challenging time for those facing homelessness, but you can help bring warmth, joy, and hope to our guests by volunteering with Shelter KC. Through simple acts of service and kindness, volunteers create memorable holiday experiences for our guests, showing them they are valued and cared for by our community. Whether it’s serving a meal, helping with holiday events, or contributing to our gift drives, your time and compassion can make an incredible impact.
