Every winter, College Church hosts Xavier Winter Inn, offering emergency shelter to unhoused individuals on Wednesday and Thursday nights from December through February. Winter Inn is run almost entirely by volunteers and provides hospitality on nights when temperatures drop below 25 degrees. We have hosted Winter Inn for over a decade and rely on volunteer support to offer this program.
Volunteer positions include Setup, Greeters/ Hosts, Innkeepers, Cleaners, Dinner Cooks and Laundry Drivers. Volunteers ages 13+ are welcome. Those under the age of 18 are required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Please use this form to sign up as a volunteer for the 2025-26 season. A coordinator will follow up with a link to a recorded training and information about how to sign up.
