Volunteering with Elijah’s Promise

We are incredibly grateful to all of our wonderful volunteers who help us change lives!

Please take note of the following before your volunteer shift:

  • We ask that all volunteers wear closed toed shoes as well as long pants for safety purposes.
  • The health and safety of our clients and volunteers is our top priority. Should you be feeling ill at all we ask you to cancel your volunteer shift by emailing volunteer@elijahspromise.org.
  • Please note that we do not honor court ordered service hours because of the legal obligations it requires and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
  • For the purposes of food safety, we ask all volunteers to wear masks at the Soup Kitchen.
  • All volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and anyone under 18 must come with a guardian.
  • When signing up a minor, you must secure an individual volunteer slot for both the adult and child. Please expect to be on your feet for the entirety of your shift.

Thank you for your incredible support!
