Lodging: Volunteer lodging is hosted by a nearby eco-resort (Great Huts, www.greathuts.com) for $5 USD per day. The lodging is dormitory style beds with shared bathroom and shower facilities. Great Huts is about 10 miles, 25 minutes, from PRM Homeless Shelter. Transportation to and from the shelter for volunteering is at the volunteer’s expense and is $1.50 USD one-way via local route taxi. However, volunteers can receive a free ride to the shelter if they leave in the morning with the Program Administrator. Other accommodations are available, but must be arranged by the volunteer and are at their own expense. We are happy to provide recommendations for alternative lodging near PRM Homeless Shelter to guide your search. Please indicate your lodging preference:*

Meals: Volunteers are provided free meals at PRM Homeless Shelter. Meals are offered every day at approximately 8am, 12pm, and 5pm. We welcome volunteers to eat in community with the shelter residents and staff for three meals a day. Most of our volunteers prefer the convenience of receiving breakfast and dinner at Great Huts Resort. To accommodate such convenience, we charge an additional $5 USD per day for meals offered at Great Huts. It is easiest if they stay with that plan throughout their stay. Also, a volunteer who chooses to eat their meals at Great Huts will be charged $5 a day, even if they only eat one meal at Great Huts that day. However, volunteers are offered two catered meals each day at Great Huts if they choose this option. Please indicate your meal preference:*

Dietary Restrictions: Great Huts will work to accommodate specific diets. However, some diets may be difficult to accommodate. We will let you know if we are unable to accommodate your dietary needs. Please list your dietary restrictions:*
