In order help keep the expense of operating the shelter to a minimum, we are always looking for people to donate items we use everyday at Delores. We accept new and gently used twin sized quilts, sheet sets, and pillows. Common items we are always looking for are paper products, women’s clothing, and food. For a complete list, please visit our needs list to see our current needs.

To arrange a donation, please contact Lorie Beth Brey, Volunteer Coordinator, at 303-534-5411 or loriebeth@thedeloresproject.org.

Open Sunday Program
Trained volunteers, in teams of two, keep the shelter open
during the day on Sundays.

Volunteer Meal Program
Groups and individuals provide prepared meals each evening for the 40 guests and staff at the shelter. Some of these groups serve and share the meal with the guests and staff.

Board of Directors
The volunteer Board of Directors consists of representatives of partner agencies/organizations and members of the community.

Student Volunteer Program
High school or college students who satisfy a course requirement by volunteering at the shelter. Supervised by the Volunteer Coordinator, these volunteer experiences are designed to meet the needs at the shelter and be appropriate for the volunteer. College undergraduate or graduate students can design and complete a project to benefit the shelter which fits with their academic program requirements.

Other Volunteer Activities
Volunteers occasionally offer arts and crafts, musical, or other experiences for shelter guests. These are arranged and supervised through the
Volunteer Coordinator.
