Current Volunteer Opportunities
Playroom – Playroom takes place on weeknights from 7 to 8 PM. Volunteers take the resident children into the playroom to play games, do a craft, watch a video, etc., while the parent(s) do a load of wash, take a shower, and/or participate in the educational programs.
Dinner Help – Volunteers arrive at St. Mary’s Shelter at 5 PM to help put dinner on the table. Our meals are delivered by local churches, organizations, and individuals, but we need help to get it all together and on the table by 5:30. Volunteers may eat with the staff and then help to put the food away and load the dishwasher. Work is finished before 7 PM.
Yardwork – Volunteers are needed to do light yard work such as pulling weeds, mulching, tending to our gardens, etc. This is a flexible opportunity that can be done at your convenience.
Office Assistance – Office assistants answer the phone and doors, perform clerical work (including computer input, mailings, filing, and sorting), and complete other administrative tasks to keep St. Mary’s running smoothly.
Housekeeping – A few examples of basic cleanup tasks include tidying up the dining room after the morning meal and freshening up the public areas.
Miscellaneous—Some other volunteer opportunities occur on an as-needed basis. We are happy to see if any as-needed tasks match your desires and talents for serving our families.
