Annunciation House

Contact: Volunteer Coordinator

Annunciation House, located at the El Paso/Juarez border, is run entirely by volunteers, who live and work in our houses of hospitality. And what do the volunteers do? Well, we hesitate to describe a typical day. Each guest, each day is new, and so provides a new opportunity to learn how to love and serve. Nevertheless, volunteers have four main areas of responsibility:

• guest-servant shifts that oversee the daily routine of the house;
• serving as a contact person for guests in formulating plans and connecting to needed services;
• weekly rotations, which are chores where each volunteer takes a turn; and
• permanent duties, such as keeping the pantry stocked or the clothing bank organized.
