Are you eager to use your gifts and talents to love others while furthering God's kingdom?

All volunteers are welcome to TFH!

Volunteers make everything in our ministry happen, from prepping the items used for outreaches, to taking care of TFH HQ, and praying for each of our outreach events. If you are interested in serving with us, please complete the Volunteer Form below and we will contact you with ways you or your team can help.

We Can’t Do It Without You!

There are so many different ways that you can get involved from volunteering at our Headquarters (HQ) to serving and ministering to the needy of Rochester on one of our weekly outreaches with the Mobile Kitchen for Christ. God has called us to serve the most vulnerable and destitute in our city in the Name of Jesus and we intend to do everything we can to glorify his name as we love our fellow neighbor's as ourselves.

Clothing

The Father’s Heart (TFH) sorts through clothing on Wednesday mornings from 9-11 AM. Volunteers make up the totes of clothes for the week’s outreaches. Also at this time, you could be making up toiletry packs from donated items.

On most Wednesday and Thursday mornings you can help TFH with going to Wegmans, Costco, etc. to pick up, load, and unload donations at Headquarters (HQ). Weekly bulk donations occur Wednesday mornings at HQ where pallets of food are unloaded from 8:30-10:30 AM.

Work Projects/HQ Help

If you are handy you can be a blessing to TFH by helping around the HQ with various work projects. This would include lawn clean-up, cleaning, doing miscellaneous repairs around and in the HQ house and grounds. There is always something that needs to be done so individuals or groups are welcome to come!

A group of volunteer from Lakeshore Community Church came to headquarters on Lake Avenue to sort donations, clean inside, and spruce up outside #2 Sept. & Oct. 2020.
Serving at The Father's Heart Mobile Kitchen for Christ

The Mobile Kitchen for Christ hits the inner City of Rochester every Thursday and Friday night, and Saturday during the day providing a hot meal, groceries, clothing, Bible literature, prayer, and most importantly, the life changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The Father's Heart feeds approximately 300-600 people on a weekly basis. We are grateful to God for providing our ministry with an influx of volunteers, eager to show the love and compassion of Christ, to the hurting and needy, on the streets of Rochester and the greater Monroe County area.

Mobile Kitchen for Christ

When working as a Mobile Kitchen volunteer, you will help with unloading and setting up tables by laying out the groceries, clothing, Bible literature, etc., and handing out the items to the individuals that arrive. You can minister to and pray with the people that attend the outreach. In additoin, you can serve on the Mobile Kitchen by preparing and handing out a hot meal to those who would like one.
