occasional needs

  • ​​Decorating: getting the Family Center ready for the holidays

  • Repairing: simple electrical needs and plumbing fixes, working on appliances and furniture, changing light bulbs and batteries

  • Moving: using strong arms and backs, pickup trucks on occasion

  • Cleaning: “turning“ our units for new clients

  • Childcare: giving an hour or more to help parents fully engage with their Case Manager without little ones present

  • Delivering: taking posters and flyers to local businesses​

These are just a few examples; our volunteers contribute in many more ways.  We support them with training and help from our staff as needed.
