June Volunteer Newsletter

Hello Volunteers,


Please join me in welcoming a new Operations Associate, David Aguilar, to the Christ House Volunteer Department! Inquiries about in-kind donations can be directed to David, who can be reached at david.aguilar@christhouse.org.


Kairos House gladly resumed the annual Memorial Day cookout this year, and all who attended had their fill of burgers, hot dogs, salad, chicken, fruits, vegetables, and desserts. It was delicious!

If you feel like you missed out on mingling at this year's cookout, have no fear! On June 18, you can connect with some members of the Christ House community at the Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March On Washington and To The Polls. For details, see The Poor People's Campaign - A National Call for Moral Revival.


Thank you for your continued support and interest in our mission. If you have any questions about volunteering at Christ House, please reach out anytime; you can reach us at volunteers@christhouse.org.

With gratitude,

Benny Mattis

Community and Volunteer Engagement Manager
