Rotating Safe Car Park is at Prince of Peace during the months of January and February 2020. Please use this link to volunteer your time. Help is especially needed in February.

Rotating Safe Car Park is the program featured in "A place for homeless families to sleep safely in their cars" by Caitlin Yoshiko Kandil in the January 2020 issue of Christian Century. Read it here.

Good News! Prince of Peace is able to host the Rotating Safe Car Park residents again this year. Our first month is February. There are new shift hours: 

• Morning is 7:00-8:15 AM
• Evening is 7:45-9:15 PM  Friday to Wednesday
• THURSDAYS will be a community meal. The RSCP evening volunteers will be asked to arrive at 7:15 PM and remain until 9:15 PM as support for a Meal Team who will provide the food.

Please sign-up to help with the button at the right.

October 1-31, RSCP will be located at West Valley College. POP is operating the RSCP at WVC, so we are ready for the great support you showed when we hosted in June and July. The evening shift has recently changed to 8:30pm-9:30pm, and the morning shift is from 7:45am-8:15am.

When signing up on the sign-up to the right, please use your cell # if possible and note your church/affiliation.

​Rotating Safe Car Park is a shelter for individuals and families living in small vehicles. As the name implies, the parking location rotates. Prince of Peace is looking for partners in the area that can offer overnight parking spaces and access to restrooms. Contact rscp@propeace.org for more information.

​RSCP Location & Volunteer Update: The Rotating Safe Car Park guests are currently at St. Jude’s in Cupertino. We now have committed hosting partners to run the RSCP through Dec.  POP volunteers engage again in October where we have committed to provide volunteers and manage the RSCP at West Valley College.  
 
In addition, the safe park coordinators at St Jude’s, can use volunteer help this month. If you would like to continue to help, please go to the St. Jude’s sign up link: http://signup.com/go/hROqxwN    Please feel free to share this link with other potential volunteers. When you sign up, please be sure to add your affiliation - church/referrer name/group.

LOCATIONS SECURED THROUGH DECEMBER​
The safe park guests are currently at St. Jude’s in Cupertino until mid-September, when they will transfer to St. Joseph of Cupertino. In addition, we now have committed hosting partners such that the RSCP will run through December.  Please note that POP committed to provide volunteers and manage the West Valley College Safe Car Park in October.

Our Rotating Safe Car Park (RSCP) guests are currently parking at Westhope Church next door until August 1st.  Prince of Peace will continue to provide the volunteers and additional services to make this a safe and comfortable stay for all.  We know two months in a row of volunteering has not been easy; especially during a busy vacation season!  Thank you for all your help and support in making it happen! 
 
Our current plan is that after Westhope is done hosting we will be taking a two month break. Then POP and partner volunteers return in October to assist West Valley Community College similarly as we are helping Westhope today.  This an important step for the RSCP because we will be attempting to directly assist homeless college students on a college campus.  Then in November, Westgate Church will host and provide their own volunteers.  Finally, in December, Sacred Heart Church will host and provide their own volunteers. Our role before and during November and December will be to provide leadership and mentorship to both Westgate and Sacred Heart. 
 
Did you know the Winter Faith Collaborative (a homeless advocacy and support group) is recommending to new groups, interested in starting a Safe Car Park, to join the RSCP.  This venture is truly a community effort and that is why we continue to need your help in completing the Westhope hosting activity in July, and then assisting the West Valley College hosting activity in October. If you can assist during the month of July, please sign up with this direct link.
 
Thank you for all your support of POP's new ministry in support of the homeless,
RSCP Leadership Team
