Volunteer
GLOWS runs entirely on volunteers. No experience needed, just a willingness to help.
Two ways to get involved
Get updates by email
Pick your lists (weekly meals, warming station nights, our newsletter and more) and we’ll only email you about those.
Sign up for shifts
Create a free account with your Google or WordPress.com login and you can sign up for shifts right away. You'll get a confirmation email and can cancel online.
Upcoming shifts
Weekly meals are posted a few weeks ahead. Warming and cooling station shifts are posted when the forecast calls for them, often with only a few days’ notice.
Log in or create an account to sign up. It takes a minute with your Google account.
