Interfaith Rotating Shelter

Our shelter dates have changed. Every winter, houses of worship in New Brunswick unite to open their doors to our unhoused neighbors. We rotate from church to church each week and typically house about 15 men. The shelter runs from mid-December through mid-March, when the temperatures are often below freezing. Christ Church will host our second and final week from February 8^th through the 15^th.

The ministry has been running for over 20 years, and is recognized by our homeless neighbors and by community leaders as compassionate, life-saving, and much needed. This year, our needs are:

· Volunteers to stay overnight with the guests

A full shift is 7 PM – 7AM and partial shifts are possible.

At Christ Church, volunteers will typically sleep in the choir room from 11 PM – 5:30 AM before starting morning tasks.

· Volunteers to help with move-out and cleaning on Sunday, February 15^th

· Volunteers to cook or bring meals for 15 guests + 3 volunteers

· If you can’t volunteer your time, you can also donate supplies or money.

To sign up for a shift or meal, please reach out to Jason Kaelber at

interfaithrotatingshelter@gmail.com or 848 228 3620. We swapped weeks with St. Peter the Apostle Church because of an irreconcilable scheduling conflict, and we expect St. Pete’s to send several volunteers are way for February, but it would also be nice if we can provide some volunteers there on our originally-scheduled week of 8-16 March.

Thank you for supporting this ministry and the homeless men of

New Brunswick!
