Some examples are; cleaning and twisting cox cables for shipment, stuffing conference bags, small packing projects (coffee cup with cream, sugar, and stir) etc. | RSVP |

| 2/21/2026 | LV Rescue Mission Community Dinner | 4:15 PM - 6:15 PM Volunteers will work with the Kitchen Staff and perform tasks related to serving the Community Meal Dinner. Some of the individuals you’ll see helping with meal service are our recovery clients who are participants in our therapeutic community model. As part of their recovery journey, these clients take on responsibilities—such as serving meals—as a structured part of their program. This helps build accountability, self-worth, and community within their recovery process. Because of this, we ask that volunteers do not step into roles assigned to program clients, particularly on the serving line. Your role is vital in many other areas, and we deeply value the positive support and example you bring. This shift requires a fast pace of serving hundreds of meals in a short amount of time while standing on your feet, so please wear closed toed shoes. | RSVP |
