Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Rescue Mission of Utica. Volunteers bring essential services to every outreach program of the Rescue Mission. Each year, hundreds of people offer their time, talent and goodness of heart to Mission projects which help make a difference in the lives of needy individuals.  Opportunities are ongoing, year-round, and constantly changing.

• Answer phones & greet guests in the Administration Building.
• Food Services Department 10 am to 1 pm and 3 pm to 6 pm every day. Groups of 5 or less welcome.
