Operation Nightwatch

Since 1981, Operation Nightwatch has provided hospitality to alleviate the isolation experienced by those living on the streets. We also distribute essential items and offer drop in mental health support to those who request it. Come help support your unhoused community by prepping snacks, meals, and care kits for our service nights. Food is one of our most essential needs — and the meaning behind a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich is more powerful than you might think. Volunteers will work together to make sandwiches and other snacks, as well as assemble care kits that support the hygiene needs of our unhoused neighbors. Your time and effort help our outreach team run more smoothly during service nights and ensure that everyone we serve feels supported and cared for by their community. Volunteer Activities Include: Preparing and assembling sandwiches and snacks Packing care kits with hygiene essentials Organizing food and supply materials Time Commitment: Wednesdays, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM Volunteers are welcome to join weekly or as available. Opportunity Requirements: Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this opportunity. Click on "Express Interest" below if you are interested in helping out! **This is a Referral Opportunity, which means it is run directly by one of our nonprofit partners. Once you express interest, someone from the partner organization should follow up with you shortly to discuss confirming you as a volunteer for this opportunity. **Please note, your hours may not be recorded in your Hands On Greater Portland account since this is a partner-managed opportunity.

At Operation Nightwatch, volunteers play an important role to those who come through our doors each night; and not only through serving food and distributing essential items. Social connection is at the heart of our mission, and we strive to provide our guests with hospitality and unconditional positive regard with each interaction. Three nights a week we provide a comfortable atmosphere for guests to socialize over a cup of coffee, connect with their greater community of unhoused and housed folks alike, cultivate friendships…and probably beat you at Scrabble. Volunteers are asked to arrive at 5:45 pm for a brief orientation and tour of our facilities before being assigned tasks. Throughout the evening you may be tasked with a variety of duties ranging from coffee service to bathroom monitor, but our core mission remains: providing hospitality & social connection. We invite you to show up just as you are, and expect you to extend the same grace to our guests. The majority of our guests are experiencing houselessness, but many do have housing and may even live nearby. Operation Nightwatch welcomes everyone without question. Every meal or cup of coffee is served with kindness and respect. Since 1981, Operation Nightwatch has been providing hospitality to alleviate the isolation experienced by those living on the streets. We also distribute essential items and offer drop in mental health support to those who request it.

At Operation Nightwatch, volunteers play an important role to those who come through our doors each night; and not only through serving food and distributing essential items. Social connection is at the heart of our mission, and we strive to provide our guests with hospitality and unconditional positive regard with each interaction. Three nights a week we provide a comfortable atmosphere for guests to socialize over a cup of coffee, connect with their greater community of unhoused and housed folks alike, cultivate friendships…and probably beat you at Scrabble. Volunteers are asked to arrive at 5:45 pm for a brief orientation and tour of our facilities before being assigned tasks. Throughout the evening you may be tasked with a variety of duties ranging from coffee service to bathroom monitor, but our core mission remains: providing hospitality & social connection. We invite you to show up just as you are, and expect you to extend the same grace to our guests. The majority of our guests are experiencing houselessness, but many do have housing and may even live nearby. Operation Nightwatch welcomes everyone without question. Every meal or cup of coffee is served with kindness and respect. Since 1981, Operation Nightwatch has been providing hospitality to alleviate the isolation experienced by those living on the streets. We also distribute essential items and offer drop in mental health support to those who request it. Our hospitality center is one of the few who offer nighttime services, and for this reason acts as a “last stop” and meeting place for folks to meet their basic needs, wind down, and connect with their community. Project Requirements: Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older to attend this project. If you plan to bring guests you MUST reserve slots for them. The best way to do this is to create a Volunteer Team, then sign up your team for this project. IMPORTANT NOTE: You are responsible for ensuring that everyone signed up through your team attends - only sign up team members who have confirmed their availability. Teams that repeatedly sign up, but do not show up or show up with fewer volunteers than they signed up, may be removed.

We also distribute essential items and offer drop in mental health support to those who request it. Come help support your unhoused community by prepping snacks, meals, and care kits for our service nights. Food is one of our most essential needs — and the meaning behind a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich is more powerful than you might think. Volunteers will work together to make sandwiches and other snacks, as well as assemble care kits that support the hygiene needs of our unhoused neighbors. Your time and effort help our outreach team run more smoothly during service nights and ensure that everyone we serve feels supported and cared for by their community. Volunteer Activities Include: Preparing and assembling sandwiches and snacks Packing care kits with hygiene essentials Organizing food and supply materials Time Commitment: Wednesdays, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM Volunteers are welcome to join weekly or as available. Opportunity Requirements: Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this opportunity.

Once you express interest, someone from the partner organization should follow up with you shortly to discuss confirming you as a volunteer for this opportunity. **Please note, your hours may not be recorded in your Hands On Greater Portland account since this is a partner-managed opportunity.
