In the guest house, we offer our guests breakfast every morning and a hot meal four afternoons a week.
As a rule, each volunteer chooses a team in which he/she can support weekly or bi-weekly. This can be during the week, in the mornings and afternoons, or even on weekends.
Each shift takes 4.5 - 5 hours.

The Guest House is an initiative that wants to create hospitable space in Dortmund for homeless and needy people, from which they are not expelled, but rather welcome.
Our primary goal is to meet our guests, who often have to live under very difficult conditions, in a way that corresponds to their dignity and respects them.
We provide our guests with a good breakfast, a hot lunch, a shower and fresh clothes. In addition, we offer an in-house medical practice as well as counseling services in the social and legal fields.
