Emergency Homeles Shelter

Life Path members are active with the Lafayette Urban Ministry's Emergency Homeles Shelter.

Overnight Shelter Volunteers work from 8:15pm-7:00am. Help check in guests, serve meals, and oversee operations. (You will have the opportunity to sleep for about 5-6 hrs.) Volunteer one night each month or as often as you can. Requires a 1 1/2 hour training session. Volunteers must be 18 or older. Training sessions are scheduled regularly, usually twice a month. To find out when the next training session is scheduled, and to learn more detailed information about overnight volunteering, go to Overnight Volunteering or contact the LUM office or the Director of the Shelter to schedule your participation: Joyce Boehm.

The shelter also plans and prepares a meal for about 46 people. People cook at home, then deliver to LUM. Stay and help serve if you like. The pastor participates in this through her Rotary chapter. For more detailed information about providing meals, go to Providing Meals or contact Director of the Shelter, Joyce Boehm.
