Description

Community Outreach Volunteer

One K9 Corp is looking for volunteers who want to do more than simply donate their time—we are looking for people who want to make a measurable difference in the lives of veterans, individuals experiencing homelessness, and community members facing crisis.
Our team works directly in the community every day, providing meals, outreach, suicide prevention support, veteran assistance, harm reduction resources, transportation assistance, clothing distribution, and connections to life-changing services.

This is hands-on volunteer work. You will work alongside disabled combat veterans, healthcare professionals, veteran advocates, and community leaders who believe that service happens face-to-face and person-to-person. Volunteer Activities Volunteers may assist with: Serving meals and distributing foodHomeless outreach and community engagementVeteran support and peer outreachClothing and hygiene distributionCommunity events and special projectsResource navigation and referralsTransportation and logistics supportHarm reduction and public safety initiativesService dog and FOB program activities No experience is required.

We will teach you what you need to know. What matters most is a willingness to help others with dignity, compassion, and respect.
