As an interfaith coalition, we can’t exist without your involvement. Below are a few of the ways you can make a difference in the lives of our unhoused neighbors.

Cook a Meal
Every night, a group of volunteers offers a warm meal to our shelter members. This act of hospitality reminds them of their value. Volunteers are invited to eat with shelter members, fostering a sense of mutual belonging while broadening each other's perspectives along the way.
Mentor |
Many people who experience homelessness may feel disenfranchised from family, friends and society. Our mentors meet weekly with a participant to lend an ear, offer encouragement, and remind them that they have the ability to succeed.
Volunteer at the Helpful Shop
When you volunteer for a shift at the Helpful Shop, a thrift store in Aptos, the shop donates a portion of sales to AFC. A little time and effort can help ensure over 60 people can continue to be sheltered each night through our programs!
Stock the Shelter
It takes a lot of supplies to shelter 20 people every night. You can keep our participants fed, our sites clean and our shelter moving by donating a supply kit or gift card. Once your group has collected the items in a kit, we'll schedule a pickup.
