When providing shelter dinners, we kindly ask groups to provide all of the food and paper products needed for your particular dinner. We ask that the food be pre-made and brought to the shelter ready to serve.
The Health Department is no longer requiring permits; however, they are strongly recommending that all food be prepared in a non-residential kitchen. For more detailed guidelines on preparing meals for our families and individuals please see the Health Department’s Food Safety Guide.

The Road Home will accommodate court-ordered volunteer hours on a case by case basis. Hours completed before an application has been approved will not count. Application approvals will come by email. If you submitted an application more that 24 hours ago and haven’t received a response, please email [email protected].
Here are few policies to keep in mind:
– If you regularly cancel shifts you may no longer be able to volunteer.
– A Volunteer Coordinator must supervise and sign off on hours.
– Available volunteer opportunities will be dependent on current needs and Volunteer Coordinator Schedules. Make sure you are signing up to volunteer during approved shifts, otherwise, your hours will not count.
– If you miss 2 or more shifts without providing notice prior to the shifts, your approval may be revoked. If you need to cancel a shift at the last minute due to illness or an emergency, it is best to send an email so that there is written documentation.
