Samaritan House’s Safe Harbor Shelter in South San Francisco offers emergency and short-term housing options in a 90-bed and 10-cot shelter. More than 400 homeless individuals are served at Safe Harbor each year.
Volunteers who are 18 or older can support our residents in a range of roles.
Safe Harbor Shelter Dinner Servers – serve an evening meal. Shift times are 5pm – 6:30pm and can be on a regular weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.
Safe Harbor Shelter Enrichment Activity Volunteers – host a monthly enrichment activity from 6pm – 8pm, after the evening meal service at our shelter.
