take a stand with louisville’s unsheltered.
At L.O.U, volunteers are the heartbeat of our mission. Whether you have an hour to spare or want to commit regularly, there are so many ways you can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors on the streets. Volunteering with us is more than just lending a hand—it's about building community, offering hope, and making a lasting impact.
If any of these volunteer opportunities below sound like a fit for you, we’d love to have you join our team! Fill out the contact form below or visit our direct sign-up forms, and we’ll be in touch to get you started.
Sunday outreach
Join us every Sunday as we head into the community to directly serve our neighbors on the streets. Volunteers help distribute essential items like non-perishable food, sanitary products, and clothing. It’s an opportunity to make a real, face-to-face impact by connecting with those in need and providing them with much-needed supplies and support.
sunday set-up
Join us every Sunday at Beargrass to help prepare for our outreach efforts! Volunteers assist with receiving donations from our generous supporters, organizing and setting up routes, and loading vehicles with essential items like food, water, clothing, and hygiene supplies. It's a hands-on way to support our mission, and you'll also help with general organization and tidying to ensure everything runs smoothly. Your help behind the scenes makes all the difference!
sack lunch program
Want to contribute from home? Sign up to make sack lunches for our Sunday outreach! This is a great way to get involved if you're unable to volunteer in person but still want to support our efforts. You can prepare simple lunches (PB&J’s/Tuna/Vienna sausages, a salty snack, a sweet snack & fruit) and drop them off at Beargrass Christian Church Sunday mornings before we head out to serve. Your contribution ensures our neighbors have a nutritious meal to start their day.
