GUESTS

Our guests are at the center of our mission. Being a guest at Romero House means you can come during our hospitality hours to seek support and friendship. Whether someone needs a warm meal, laundry services, a shower, or simply a welcoming community, they are invited to join us as a guest!

HOSPITALITY VOLUNTEER

Our Hospitality Volunteers are individuals with a deep passion for helping those in need and a commitment to serving them directly. They play a vital role in our organization by handling most of the service work. Each day they volunteer, they engage in meaningful conversations with the guests we support. Volunteers have the flexibility to choose their hours and days, allowing them to work at their convenience!

TEAM VOLUNTEER

Our volunteers are dedicated individuals who aim to elevate their commitment to service. They work on one of several essential teams: the Mental Health Team, the Building and Grounds Team, the Development Team, the Hospitality Team, and the Events Team. Each of these teams, along with the volunteers who contribute their time, is crucial to the operation of Ames Romero House.

FOOD VOLUNTEER

Our food volunteers play a vital role in providing the meals we serve for lunch every day. Whether they contribute food once a week or once a month, our organization could not function without them. They either donate the food used to prepare the meals or help themselves to our pantry. Regardless of how they contribute, they create the most delicious dishes.

MISSIONARY STAFF

Our Missionary Staff is made up of dedicated individuals who commit to volunteering for a minimum of six months, with the possibility of extending their service to two years. These volunteers live on-site and play a key role in leading and managing other volunteers. They are responsible for maintaining the house during non-hospitality hours and providing support to our guests who are in the greatest need.

DONORS

Donors play a vital role in making our mission possible through their generosity. With the ongoing support of our recurring donors and those who contribute whenever they can, we can provide food and comfort to the homeless and low-income populations in Ames. These generous individuals are the primary reason we can maintain our services.
