every 3rd Sunday of the month
to cook for and feed the
homeless men of Miami.
Don’t miss this beautiful
opportunity to serve God by
serving the poor.
The shelter opens for the
volunteers at 7:30 am but they
don’t start serving food to the
homeless until 9:30am.
There is a second food service

Those volunteers that get to the
shelter in the morning help
prepare and serve the food
during the first service.
You are welcomed to come at
any time or day of the week.
The shelter is closed on
Thursdays.
If you have any questions,
please do not
