If you’d like to help out a community organization that does amazing work, from [running a food pantry ](/blog/politics/at-camba-food-pantry-council-members-kick-off-program-to-battle-youth-unemployment#prettyPhoto)that provides meals to thousands of neighbors every month to [handing out hundreds of Thanksgiving turkeys](/blog/volunteering/neighbors-line-up-for-thanksgiving-turkeys-from-camba), now is the time.

[CAMBA](http://www.camba.org/?ref=bklyner.com), a nonprofit headquartered at 1720 Church Avenue, is looking for people to help out with their volunteer-run overnight homeless shelters in faith organizations throughout the borough.

The [Respite Bed Program](http://www.camba.org/Pages/programs/Housing/Homeless%20Shelters/Drop-in%20Center%20and%20Related%20Programs/Respite%20Bed%20Program/Group-Volunteering-in-the-Respite-Bed-Program.aspx?ref=bklyner.com) provides “a welcoming, home-like setting where six to 20 guests can enjoy a hot meal and a safe place to sleep,” CAMBA said.

The nonprofit is looking for helping hands with various shifts and tasks, and scheduling is flexible. Tasks include:

**Dinner Volunteers**

- Cook, serve and clean up dinner.
- Ensure that guests are treated with dignity and respect.

**Overnight Volunteers**

- Interact with guests and ensure that they have a safe evening, the site is left clean, and all guests are ready to leave at a specific time in the morning.

Volunteers are needed on a one-time or ongoing basis. All volunteers are fully trained and shifts are flexibly scheduled. Orientation trainings are required and offered on a regular basis. Overnight volunteers must be 21 or over.

To volunteer, or for more information, contact Joshua Foss by emailing [volunteers@camba.org](mailto:volunteers@camba.org) or calling 347-992-9757.
