Our volunteers are vital to our success 

This story is part of our 2024 Annual Report. Thank you to our incredible volunteers

There were many moments in 2024, big and small, where volunteers made their mark at Model Cities, embodying compassion and strength of community to support our neighbors. Their support shined brightest when relocating Safe Space last fall. Over 25 community volunteers along with Model Cities staff spent two days preparing the new location at Central Baptist Church for (re)opening day. 

Safe Space reached full capacity in December and continues providing overnight shelter in 2025. This would not have been possible with the dedication and service of our volunteers. We’re grateful to everyone who gave their time and talent, increasing our people power for the year.
