What You’ll Do

As a Porter in one of HELP USA’s shelters for people experiencing homelessness, you’ll help provide our residents a clean and well-maintained living space that feels as much like home as possible during their stay with us. Your daily responsibilities will include cleaning (sleeping areas, bathrooms, offices, windows, floors, grounds, etc.), garbage and trash removal, painting, landscaping, snow removal, minor repairs, and other maintenance-related assignments.

You’re a great fit for this role if you:

• Can lift 75 pounds.

• Can operate small machinery, power tools, and hand tools. 

• Have a High School Diploma or equivalent OR equivalent experience and skills.

It would be helpful (but not required) if you have:

• Experience in maintenance.

• Some basic knowledge of wiring, boilers, and plumbing.
