We work weekly at this Salvation Army Shelter for the homeless in Santa Monica
by participating in their feeding program. "Sam-O-Shell" at 505 Olympic is a
shelter for the homeless, jointly sponsored by the Salvation Army and the City
of Santa Monica. "Clients," as they are called, get two hot meals every day,
and live "dormitory style" in what many of them refer to as the best shelter
in Southern California. Although it is limited to 100 men and women, it has a
very active jobs program requiring all to actively seek work. Counseling and
some medical care is also provided. Volunteers are needed primarily for the
daily feeding programs. |
Over one hundred people stay in the Salvation Army shelter in Santa Monica. Without this opportunity
to get back on their feet, they would be homeless and without much hope. |
|
"Clients," as they are called by the shelter staff,
live dormitory-style here and sleep in comfortable bunk beds. |

serves a tasty hot meal with us on Monday. |
|
Our volunteers either make, or pick up from others, the food we serve,
and it is very fresh and served hot.
We get some of the food we serve from F.A.I.T.H., but we can always use food donations |
|
Please call or E-mail us for information on how you can volunteer
or if you have suggestions for other service activities to post here.
