The Nyer Urness House is looking for some volunteers to help with meals. Nyer Urness is the new supportive housing project located at 1753 NW 56th St. Amy Besunder from the Compass Housing Alliance wrote to tell us that they are in need of volunteers to plan dinner or brunch, purchasing food, and cooking in the center’s kitchen. “This is a great way to get involved, as it provides residents with a nice meal and helps build community,” Besunder says.
The volunteer groups can range in size from one to 10 people, and youth under the age of 18 are allowed if accompanied by an adult. They serve dinners seven days a week at 6 p.m., and brunches are served on the weekends at 10 a.m. Besunder tells us that the number of residents varies at dinner, but will be no more than 80. To get more information or to schedule a volunteer meal, contact Kevin Friedrich, volunteer coordinator, at volunteer@compasshousingalliance.org.
