Homeless Outreach

Homeless Outreach coordinates various service projects that benefit the local homless population in Spokane. Homeless Outreach partners with community organizations such as House of Charity, St. Margaret's Shelter, Union Gospel Mission, The Women's and Children's Free Restaurant, Spokane Homeless Coalition, and many others. This program works closely with the homeless population to coordinate group activities that raise awareness and encourage participation among our campus community. Volunteer opportunities may include: serving food, coordinating/participating in a clothing or food drive, volunteering at a shelter, being a mentor for GU's Kid's Club of St. Margaret's, helping plan and serve at our semiannual Food for Thought Dinner, or assisting with Homelessness Awareness week. The Homeless Outreach program provides a avenue for students to educate themselves with regard to poverty, social services, and the responsibilities of society.
