Opportunities From: One Albuquerque Volunteers

Are you an experienced painter?

There is a special project at Gateway West and our team could use your skills!

The Department of Health, Housing, and Homelessness, in partnership with Chicanos Por La Causa, welcomes hundreds of people seeking shelter every day. Therefore, we are interested in giving the lobby and hallway a fresh coat of paint to elevate the atmosphere of our Guest/Host Services area. We would like to invite anyone with a painting background to participate.

Please, click ‘Respond’ to register and share your experience with us. We will contact you to review scheduling.

Thank you!

Hi One ABQ!

Volunteers may help set up, serve food, welcome guests, and clean up after the meal. Pick a shift that works for you and click 'Respond'!

3:00-6:00pm - Assist with setup, ensure serving supplies are ready, and prepare pies for service.

4:00-7:00pm - Volunteers with gloves and hairnets may help serve the main meal.
