COTS provides emergency shelter, services, and housing for people who are without homes or who are marginally housed. COTS advocates for long-term solutions to end homelessness. We believe in the value and dignity of every human life, that housing is a fundamental human right and that emergency shelter is not the solution to homelessness.

We can use volunteer support in programs and in administrative/development work throughout the year. There are opportunities for direct-service work with clients in shelters or in one-on-one mentoring relationships. There are also opportunities to work on fundraising projects, special events, and awareness raising campaigns.
