I-HELP Phoenix
Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program
In partnership with Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest, OSLC will be hosting guests on Saturday nights (6:00 pm- 7:00 am)
Volunteers are needed to do the following:
Host Arrive at church around 5:30 p to unlock, turn on lights, and adjust temperature as needed. Greet guests at 6:00 pm and direct them to the cots and bedding so they can set up their sleeping area. Help with dinner as needed. Make sure the overnight staff knows where things are and the procedure for the morning.
Provide Dinner at 6:30 pm Make or purchase dinner for up to 20 people (we should get a count earlier in the week). This could be a casserole, soup, or even pizza from Costco! Don’t forget a side like bread or veggies, and feel free to send dessert- think cookies, ice cream or even mini-candy bars. You can use the church kitchen or bring dinner ready to serve. Feel free to sit down and eat with our guests. Then clean up when everyone is done and head home.
Provide Breakfast Make or purchase breakfast for up to 20 people (we will get a count earlier in the week) and either drop it off Saturday night or serve it Sunday morning by 6:30 am. This could be an egg bake, yogurt parfaits, doughnuts, or even cereal and toast. Make a pot of coffee and bring juice, too. Feel free to eat breakfast with our guests, then clean up and get ready for worship.
Provide Bagged Lunches Make or purchase items for lunches for up to 20 peoples (we will get a count for you). Think sandwiches, bagels, lunchables, fruit cups, tune and crackers, and a beverage. As it gets hot out, you can even freeze juice boxes or gatorades and use them to help keep the lunch fresh. Drop off Saturday night or before the guests leave at 7:00 am on Sunday morning.
Do Laundry Each Sunday we will have sheets and blankets to wash and dry before the next Saturday. Given how many guests spent the night, we will need up to 2 volunteers. You can take the laundry after worship on Sunday and bring it back to the church office by Thursday at 3pm.

Join the Outreach Team
The Outreach Team at Our Saviour’s decides the monthly mission projects, like collections for Grace Lutheran and Umom, and makes sure items get to their intended destinations. They also arrange for care packages to be delivered to homebound members at Easter and Christmas. Occasionally, they also lift up other outreach opportunities to help those less fortunate. If you would like to share your gifts with this team, or have suggestions for outreach activities, please contact either Lennie Andrews or Pastor Karn.
