OVERNIGHTS OF HOSPITALITY
The Task Force for the Homeless runs an emergency shelter program in Plymouth, MA during the colder months of the year.  Currently, there are houses of worship that provide shelter and warm meals on a rotating basis to homeless men in the area from October through the end of April.

 

Volunteers are needed to serve as overnight chaperones, set up shelters, and provide meals.


NORTH PLYMOUTH SHELTER
In addition, the group runs a "sober house" in North Plymouth for homeless men who abstain from drugs and alcohol.  The house is currently leased, but the organization hopes to be able to purchase the house in the future to ensure its permanence.  Fundraising efforts are expected to begin soon.


VOLUNTEER OR DONATE
To volunteer, please contact Connie Melahoures at 508-746-3805.  To contribute, make checks payable to Task Force for the Homeless, and mail to:
