Volunteer with us!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with True North Housing Alliance! Our volunteers do an incredible amount of work to help the homeless individuals we serve in Butte County. We could not exist without them!

Volunteer Opportunities

Monitoring assistants

Monitoring Assistants help our staff with daily living services and operations at the Torres Community Shelter. They assist at the front counter, providing services and resources related to checking in, showering, laundry, mail, medication and more. Volunteer hours can be flexible to meet your schedule, because the shelter is open 24-hours a day.

Meal providers

These volunteers prepare, cook and serve a delicious dinner for our guests at the shelter at 6 p.m. This is a great option for groups: friends, church groups, service clubs, etc.

Drivers

Drivers are a huge help to our staff, transporting essential donations. They pick up items like bread, fruits, vegetables and hygienic products from community donors and bring them to our shelter to make sure that individuals experiencing homelessness have what they need.

Activity Volunteer

These volunteers provide onsite services our guests would benefit from such as haircuts, chiropractic care, games or recreation activities, musical events, and classes (crafts, resume development, etc.).

Special Project/Event Volunteer

These volunteers help out during special projects and events, such as Empty Bowls or Chico State’s Cats in the Community.
