DOES THIS BIBLE VERSE RESONATE WITH YOU?? We are looking for volunteers who want to share their time, talents, and the love of Christ as they work alongside of us on behalf of God's Kingdom. The harvest is great, but the laborers are few!

Help make a difference in our local homeless community by getting involved with DWWCHO! We focus our resources on, and help bring dignity to, the lowest and most desperate strata of the homeless community........individuals who live outside in the elements (or perhaps in a tent), in a vehicle, or in a structure with no running utilities. We offer critical safety-net services such as meals, clothing, hygiene supplies, showers, medical & dental care, and much, much more to one of the most vulnerable segments of society -- our unhoused neighbors.

Visit our website today at www.dwwcho.org and complete our brief Volunteer Contact Form. There is a place for most everyone on our team! We can't wait to hear from you!
