volunteer
Volunteers are vital to the success of Helping Hands… we would not be able to open our doors without them. We have a number of different volunteer opportunities available.
Volunteers hours are Monday thru Thursday from 9:30 A.M. until 1:30 P.M.
Please contact us to ask about availability of volunteer opportunities or complete the Volunteer Application below.
Case Working
Case workers are necessary. The purpose of a caseworker is to interview clients and ascertain their true and immediate needs. A large part of case working is listening and determining just how much to help. The main goal of Helping Hands is to assist with food and clothing, however, clients may need further assistance. In this instance, caseworkers need to be able to refer clients to the proper agency. New volunteers will have several weeks of training and shadowing of experienced caseworkers.
Food Pantry
There are multiple volunteer opportunities in the food pantry. Help is needed sorting through canned goods received through food drives. Food distribution to the clients is always a need Monday through Thursday. Be sure to wear your running shoes! The food pantry is a fast-paced environment!
Clothing Closet
Helping Hands is blessed in that we always have a steady stream of new clothing donations. With these donations comes the need to sort through each of the items. The clothing closet volunteer works to make sure that only clean items of clothing in good condition go up on our clothing racks. Volunteers also work with the clients by helping them find the sizes they need.
