Volunteer Appreciation Week at COH
This and every week, we are so thankful for the 90 individuals who make our mission a reality by volunteering for Circle of Hope.
Last year, Circle of Hope volunteers dedicated 28,000 volunteer hours to make sure homeless families have the clothing and essentials they need to stay healthy. By carefully sorting hundreds of donations per week, volunteer sorters ensure that everything we send to our partner shelters is in good condition and can be worn immediately by a homeless child or adult. Volunteer drivers deliver the donations to the shelters, bringing warmth, dignity, and hope to the 5,500 homeless individuals we serve.
This week (Nov. 26-30), volunteers are invited to stop by Circle of Hope during our open hours for a cup of coffee and expressions of our gratitude. Thank you for your amazing work!
Thanksgiving Hours
Circle of Hope will close at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 21st and remain closed through Sunday, Nov. 25th. There will be no donation drop-off hours during the afternoon on Wednesday. Normal drop-off hours resume Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.
In the meantime, support Circle of Hope by attending one of barre3’s Thanksgiving Day barre classes!
