Chum – Community Day Volunteer Project
Who: Students, faculty, and staff from the College of St. Scholastica
Where:
-
Damiano Center (206 W 4th St, Duluth) – Supporting Chum’s Stabilization and Health Services move-in

New Administrative & Mission Advancement Offices (address to be shared with volunteers) – Preparing space for Chum’s Administrative and Mission Advancement teams
When: Tuesday, October 1st, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM (2–3 hour shifts)
Why:
Chum is preparing for a major renovation project over the next 18 months. To ensure we can continue serving our community without interruption, we are relocating into two new spaces. Volunteers from CSS will help us with essential moving and set-up tasks to make sure our staff, services, and guests are supported during this transition.
Project Description:
Volunteers will help Chum settle into two new locations. Tasks may include:
-
Moving boxes and supplies into designated areas
-
Setting up furniture and organizing office space
-
Light cleaning (dusting, wiping surfaces, vacuuming) to prepare new workspaces
-
Helping health and stabilization services transition smoothly into their new home at the Damiano Center
Volunteer Impact:
Your service will directly support Chum staff and programs that provide shelter, food, and critical resources to people experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty in Duluth. By lending a hand with this move, you’ll help Chum continue its mission without interruption during this time of transition.
Additional Information:
-
Volunteers should wear clothing suitable for lifting, light cleaning, and moving.
-
All supplies and equipment will be provided.
-
Groups and individuals welcome.
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, September 24, 2025
