Social Media Volunteer with Chaplains on the Way |
|
Chaplains on the Way (COTW) believes that no person suffering from homelessness should feel they have to walk alone. We live out our mission by building trusting relations with people in Waltham, MA who are experiencing homelessness and struggling with mental illness and/or substance use issues. We offer a ministry of compassion and companionship through life’s struggles and triumphs, welcoming all into relationship and loving community. We are currently working to build a coalition of housed and unhoused Waltham residents to support the needs of people experiencing homelessness.
We would love a volunteer to help us with social media to build our coalition and raise public awareness about the lack of indoor space available for unhoued people this winter.
