Special Requirements: We have volunteer orientation every Friday 9-9:30 a.m. Volunteers will fill out an application, go on a quick tour and be able to start service hours the same day if they desire. Volunteers must be 12 years or older to volunteer. Must follow dress code: Appropriate Jeans, tennis shoes and shirt with sleeves. Bring a positive attitude also!
Specific Opportunities: Volunteers help us do the most good through serving meals to the homeless/working in the kitchen, filling food pantry bags with canned goods, handing out food pantry bags to low income families in our Social Services unit, going through clothing donations and organizing clothes closet and more!
Potential Projects This Year: We'd love to see student volunteers serve a meal, put together food pantry bags, organize donations, host a food drive, have a sandwich making party (we give out about 800 sandwiches a day) or do an off site project and make Home Starter Kits. These kits like a Bedroom Kit, Kitchen Kit or a Cleaning Kit will go to families when they move out of our facility and give them a chance at starting their own home. Families usually don't have access to these items when they're first starting out.
