Make-A-Day Foundation

Join the Make A Day Foundation on April 11th at Standard Hall! Have a burger and make some new friends in the community!

Standard Hall

The Make-A-Day Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides outreach to Columbus’ homeless population and any of our neighbors in need. Our block party styled, pop-up outreach events focus on providing opportunities for homeless guests to build personal relationships with other community members. We provide guests with personal care items, and a complimentary meal from a gourmet local food truck. Make-A-Day also offers guests free haircuts, shampoos, styling, and shaves from some of the city’s best local cosmetologists. Make-A-Day Foundation’s guests will also have access to help obtaining “on-the-spot” Medicaid health insurance coverage, as well as medical, behavioral health, veteran services, domestice violence support, and smart justice services &amp; referrals.

Volunteer Roles ExplanationRead Carefully To Choose Your Preferred Slot!Volunteers will be assigned to specific roles. The event will be taking place from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm for our guests, but volunteers will need to be on-site from 10:30 am-2 pm. HostsOur volunteers are a vital part of making this day happen! If you are organized, a people-person, and a problem solver, the host position is the job for you! The host helps to check-in our guests and retrieve them for haircuts, consultation with benefits experts, vaccinations, dental, and legal clinic openings! This position is like the Quarterback in Football!ServersWe need volunteers willing to help serve guests their meal and work with the host to notify each guest when their resources are available (haircut, medical, legal, etc). The goal is to give our guests a restaurant-like experience, but with a more personalized touch. We want our guests to feel seen, so be sure to try to remember names and faces! Friendship BuildersWe also need people that are willing to sit and chat with people and build relationships and be good listeners to learn about people’s stories and needs. In doing so, we hope that folks can gently, and without being intrusive, inquire about their needs related to healthcare, health insurance, criminal justice support, and any other social services they may need.General VolunteersGreeters/Registration Table: Greet guests and check-in volunteers. Give volunteers their task sheets. Personal Care Item Table Workers: Organize personal care takeaway bags, and manage their distribution. Health &amp; Human Services ExpertsOur partners from Human Services agencies will have their own designated tables where they can talk with guests and provide resources. Human Services expert volunteers are encouraged* to roam around and introduce themselves and offer information and assistance to seated guests!*This roaming isn&#x27;t necessarily expected of our pop-up dental clinic volunteers or our legal clinic volunteers.Mini Volunteer Training - SAVE THE DATE - April 8th, 1 pm-2 pmMake-A-Day Foundation will host a 1-hour mini-training on Friday, April 8th, at 1 pm, prior to the event, to help people feel comfortable talking to our guests!
