Introducing Volunteer Coordinator – Peter Sperduti

Some of you may already know Peter Sperduti. He’s been a volunteer at Resurrection House since May 2022, but recently he’s become our Volunteer Coordinator.

A former firefighter, Peter started helping the homeless in the 1990s and has continued with his ministry by conducting Bible studies in shelters and feeding people on the streets.

“I’ve seen miracles happen while doing that,” he says.

Peter explains “it takes a lot of baby steps in ministering to the homeless but it’s rewarding in the end. I love seeing bridges restored for those who have had them broken.” He’s seen parents reconnect with their children and people go from homeless to housed.

“Seeing them being put back together really motivates me,” says Peter. Becoming a volunteer with Resurrection House and making a difference in people’s lives doesn’t require special skills.

“You don’t need to have any previous experience,” he explains. “You just need a heart for the homeless.”

Peter recommends exploring all the volunteer opportunities at Resurrection House – from helping with laundry to greeting clients. “It helps you gain an appreciation that serving here is a true team effort,” he says.
