In non-pandemic times, Thanksgiving at the Midnight Mission shelter can be quite festive. But not this year. The shelter has scaled down its program for fear of undermining the progress it has made keeping COVID-19 from sweeping through its dormitories.

Here are places that need volunteers specifically on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but get your reservations in quick, and remember, these places need help the other 363 days of the year as well.

This year, shelter workers deep-fried turkeys on the loading dock and served the meal on the shelter’s large roof in shifts of 33. Guests ate sweet potatoes, cabbage, macaroni along with pie while listening to a Christmas quartet.
