Harbor House of Rochester
Harbor House of Rochester
Description
We have ongoing events and projects that require professional quality photo and/or video recording and editing. Any video editing software fluency is fine as long as the output can be in file format suitable for website and other social media posting. The volunteer can stipulate specific hours and availability for these projects and does not need to be available for all projects. The most important upcoming event for which availability is critical is Saturday September 27, 6-10 pm at ARTISANworks in Rochester. This is our main annual fundraising event. Great opportunity for a student to develop or expand diverse portfolio. Creative work for a great cause!

We are located on the campus of Saint Michael's Church, at 869 N Clinton Ave, in the northeast area of the city of Rochester. Among other efforts, we operate a food pantry on Saturdays, serving 250-300 households each week. While providing food, our main goal is to build the dignity and worth of everyone who walks through our door. In conjunction with the pantry we also provide meals and wrap-around services for those both shopping at the pantry and those unhoused in our neighborhood.
We are looking for volunteers of all faiths and walks of life, and in this way, foster a culture of encounter. Assistance is needed in helping individuals shop, stocking shelves, helping people to check in, assist with hospitality, and helping individuals connect with the service agencies present. Especially helpful, but not required, is the ability to speak Spanish.
