Requirements
Our volunteers come from all walks of life, but they share a few key qualities: compassion, reliability, and a genuine desire to help others. We ask that volunteers treat everyone with dignity and respect, follow basic guidelines, and commit to showing up when scheduled.
Beyond that some roles required a background check prior to starting.
Training
Each volunteer receives orientation, on-the-job training, and written instructions. Our team and staff are always nearby to answer questions, offer encouragement, and help you learn as you go. You don’t need any prior experience—just a readiness to learn and serve.
Hours
Let us know when you are available, and we will work with you to find the time when you can make the greatest impact. Most shifts are 2 – 5 hours.
Benefits to Volunteers
Volunteers create mini support groups among their shifts. This helps them cope with the aches, pains and losses that come with aging. Bonds formed doing service work last for years. The extension of their faith-based mission work lifts them spiritually and emotionally. Having a purpose each day keeps volunteers engaged and sharp. You also receive a discount at the Thrift Store.
