Volunteer
Group Cooking Projects
Many of our clients benefit from having prepared frozen meals accessible, so it’s nice to have a group of volunteers to prepare and package individual entrees. To schedule a weekend cooking project with your club, congregation or co-workers, contact the Development Office at 831.649.4522.
Gardeners Wanted
If you are a gardener and would like to donate your time, the garden and greenhouse at Sandy Shores need tending during the Spring and Summer months. Volunteers who can help Interim clients with planting, weeding and harvesting are greatly appreciated! Call the Development Office at 831.649.4522 to volunteer.
Personal Development Classes
The Our Voices and OMNI Resources Center would love to offer a wider range of classes. If you can teach a four-to eight-week class in yoga, art, Spanish, or cooking, please contact the Development Office at 831.649.4522.
In-Kind Donation
Interim gratefully accepts gently used household items, with some exceptions. They mean so much to our clients, many of whom struggle to get by on very limited resources. They can also add a homelike touch for those who have been homeless in the past. For more information, contact our Development Office at 831.649.4522 to arrange pick-up of large items!

Gently Used Bicycles Needed!
Many of our clients rely on bicycles and public transportation as their primary means of transportation. If you have an unused adult-sized bicycle cluttering up the garage, call the Development Office at 831.649-4522.
We’d be happy to take it off of your hands.
