Volunteer Opportunities

We welcome volunteers. Anyone over 18 years old can be a volunteer. Under 18 would require adult supervision. If you are looking to volunteer, we have many needs available. We like to match our volunteers with things they enjoy. Volunteers are very important to us, and we are thankful for all that they do. To be a part of our team, we ask that you give just twenty hours a year. We have a sign in sheet to track the time you’ve spent volunteering. Below is a list of some of our needs. If you have any questions, please call Grace Suter at 871-5053. Thank you for considering us; we would love to hear from you.

Meal Delivery - Our biggest need is with our meal delivery program. We have four routes that deliver meals Monday through Friday to our homebound members. We need volunteers that will ride in the front passenger seat and get the meals ready for delivery. The driver knows the routes and the families and will instruct the volunteer as to what door the client is used to receiving the meal. The hours are from 9:30am to 12:00noon.

Portioning Food - The meals that we deliver need to be portioned into containers that are made for easy handling and traveling. Training is given to show how much food should be placed in the containers. It will take approximately an hour to portion the food. We start portioning at 9:00 am.

Birthday Day - Volunteers would serve cake and ice cream to the members who have a Birthday in that month. The Volunteers would also help with the set up and clean of this wonderful event.

Activity Day - We need volunteers that can be cheerleaders and encourage our members to get up and have fun during our activity day. Our Activity Director has many wonderful games planned. The volunteers would help keep score and assist where they are needed.

Front Desk Help - Occasionally, we need help staffing our front desk. The volunteer would answer the phone and greet people coming into the center. We provide training. It is a fun position because you are able to greet the happy faces that are coming and going in and out of our center.

Fitness Room Monitor - We need volunteers that will be present in the fitness room while a member wants to work out. We require that there be two people in the fitness room at all times for safety reasons. The volunteer does not need to work out and can watch TV, read or work on their hobby.

Special Events Volunteers - This usually requires many volunteers. We have had several events that would not have been successful without the help of our volunteers. An example would be helping at our Craft Fair serving refreshments, monitoring our Silent Auction, selling baked goods and staffing our booth selling some handmade items from our center. In the spring, we have a booth at both theFlowertown Festival and Grits Festival, where our volunteers gave out bookmarks (that they worked on) and literature with our activities and information.
