Community shelter volunteer training

The New Milford Community Shelter is seeking volunteers for the shelter that will open later this month.

A volunteer training session will be held Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. at St. John's Episcopal Church on Whittlesey Avenue in New Milford for those who would like to learn more about the shelter in general, or who would like to become a volunteer.

The shelter rotates to new location each month (St. Francis Xavier Church’s Parish Office, St. John’s Episcopal Church and the First Congregational Church) November to spring. Doors will open between 8:30 and 9 p.m. Guests will be screened before entering by shelter coordinators
