Packs for Cold Backs

Become A Volunteer

Packs for Cold Backs has 6 different programs and services that require immense amounts of work to accomplish. As we have learned with time, it takes many hands to make light work. Our volunteers, staff, interns, sponsors, and community are the lifeline that allows us to pursue our mission and help thousands of individuals. Without the help of these gracious individuals, our impact would not be the same.

Volunteer

With a growing network of 500 volunteers in the communities we serve, there are various ways to get involved and help. One of the most common ways to volunteer is through our monthly Community Outreach Program. Individuals, families, and friends are welcome to join us on these events to experience hands on outreach while provide immediate aid to those experiencing homelessness. It is a great way to get started with our organization and see if you’d like to get further involved. Other opportunities include signing up for our navigation/wrap-around services trainings to serve as part of our growing navigation team. Another rewarding way to serve is by assisting with our housing program. Our volunteers take part in helping individuals move into their new homes, providing donations of new or gently used furniture, and household appliances. We use volunteers for our voting initiative, ensuring unhoused individuals have access to voting. As an organization, we often times partner with other non-profits to host joint events, presenting another unique opportunity to get involved as a volunteer.

Internships

Packs for Cold Backs offers many exciting internship opportunities for those who would like to have a continuous impact on the work we do. Our interns have the opportunity to help develop new and existing programs, serve as navigators, manage social media, and much more.
