The Dover Church is actively involved, as a founding member, in Family Promise Metrowest, a cooperative, interfaith partnership offering hope to homeless families with children through safe transitional shelter, meals, and supportive case management as they seek permanent housing. This nonprofit program was founded in 2008.

We provide shelter and meals to families in the network during the year though three 1-week long hosting opportunties. Families arrive at the church around 6:30 p.m. each weekday evening where they are welcomed by our volunteers, provided with a hot nutritious meal, a safe warm bedroom, support and fellowship.

We have many opportunities for you to help out during our hosting weeks. If you would like to get involved, please click here to email the church office to find out how you can help.

We need volunteers to

• Set up bedrooms on Sunday, May 13th, starting at 1 pm
• Cook dinner each night during the week
• Eat dinner each night during the week
• Stay overnight
• Cook breakfast on Saturday morning.
• Breakdown bedrooms on Sunday, February 18th, starting at 8 am

You can sign up to volunteer through the Family Promise Metrowest CERVIS program.
