For the past several years, local churches in Fairfax County under the direction of F.A.C.E.T.S. (Fairfax Assistance Community Emergency Transit Services) take turns housing people who are homeless in their church for a week. They provide overnight shelter and meals throughout the winter season from November to mid-March. Congregation Olam Tikvah partners with Lord of Life Lutheran Church and helps them for the first Sunday night to Monday morning coverage during the week they are assigned.

This year, Lord of Life is hosting their hypothermia shelter February 9-16. OT volunteers are needed on Monday, February 10 and Tuesday, February 11.

• Prepare and serve dinner on Monday
• Staff the first shift of the overnight shelter from 9:00pm-1:00am on Monday night
• Prepare bag lunches on Monday for guests to take with them on Tuesday morning
• Prepare and serve breakfast on Tuesday. Please note that breakfast needs to be ready by 6:00am, so be prepared for an early morning.

To volunteer, contact Clare Bachner.
