Sponsor a weekend meal (please call Claire to schedule) Take a dinner to New Directions Shelter on a Saturday or Sunday evening. Dinner must be dropped off by 4:45pm and may be ready-to-eat or can be cooked/ heated up at the shelter. Dinner should serve approximately 25 people (2/3 children). Provide children’s activities Read books, organize games, create art projects, plan a movie night or provide any other projects for the children who are staying at the shelter. Activities can be held in the afternoons or evenings at the shelter or at another location in the community. Organize a supply drive at your local church or work New Directions Shelter has a wish list filled with products and supplies that are in need. This is a perfect service project for religious organizations, community groups, and clubs. Volunteer for weeknight activities Bring in a speaker or be a speaker yourself. Educational, informational, or motivational, this is a great way to reach women who are homeless by giving them resources and support throughout their stay at New Directions Shelter.
