Greetings!


Happy New Year! As we begin the year, we’re reaching out to our incredible community to help ensure families at Nicholas House continue to receive nourishing meals and the essential items they need to feel safe, supported, and at home.


Open Meal Service Opportunities


We have several upcoming dates available for dinner service at our shelter. Volunteers can provide meals by dropping them off, arranging delivery, or cooking on-site.

Open Dinner Dates:



  • January: 10, 17, 29
  • February: 7, 13, 14, 21
  • March: 7, 13, 14, 21, 31

If you’re interested in signing up for one of these dates or learning more about what meal service looks like, please reach out to our Volunteer Manager Antoinette Johnson at ajohnson@nicholashouse.org.


Immediate Shelter Needs


In addition to meals, we are currently in need of the following items to support families in our shelter and those transitioning into housing:


  • Twin-size comforters/blankets
  • Twin-size kids’ sheets
  • Full & queen-size air mattresses
  • Full & queen-size sheets and blankets/comforters
  • Pillows & pillowcases
  • Heavy-duty plastic forks & spoons
  • Paper plates (no Styrofoam, please)
  • 16 oz plastic cups
  • Paper towels
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • Fabuloso


Day of Service Opportunities


We’re also looking for groups interested in hosting a Day of Service. A major current need is outdoor support—specifically raking, bagging, and (if possible) hauling off leaves around our shelter. These efforts make a huge difference in keeping our space safe and welcoming for families.
