Volunteer with Gubbio!

More than 125 volunteers from the Bay Area came to The Gubbio Project during the course of last year to help provide a respite for folks experiencing extreme poverty and homelessness.  Because of the increasing amount of people seeking a safe and quiet refuge, the support we receive from volunteers is crucial. Most volunteers work in our sanctuaries as Assistant Hospitality Monitors, where our guests rest and sleep. Volunteers may also accompany our guests as servers in our Breakfast Program, by preparing or handing out lunches at the close of our day, or through help with periodic mailings and special events. We will work with you to find a match for your availability and interests. 

To sign up to volunteer, please contact our Program Manager Andy at volunteer@thegubbioproject.org.
