MealTrain
Support our community by donating a dinner via our MealTrain. You’ll provide our residents with an exciting change of pace at dinnertime and give our hard-working staff a break from cooking. If you would like to contribute, sign up for a slot on the calendar–you can make your own dish to drop off at the house, place an order with a local restaurant for delivery on your chosen day, or donate a gift card.
Email info@josephshouse.org for support or suggestions. Thank you!

Volunteer
In order to maintain the family-like atmosphere of the house, most of the volunteer service at Joseph’s House is provided by those who serve full-time or who serve two full days per week through established volunteer service programs. We also have a limited number of individuals who visit weekly to help prepare meals, as well as volunteers who assist with some administrative tasks.
If you are interested in one of the year-long service programs, you can visit their websites for additional information:
