Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Interviewers – Volunteers to help interview clients requesting emergency assistance.  We will provide training and supervision as you interview clients to assess their needs and provide them with the critical services they need.  This is a great way to see social services up close and come face-to-face with those you are helping.  Shifts are available from 10:00AM-12:00noon on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Food Sorters – Volunteers sort donated food by category so that it is ready to give away in our food pantry.  This is a good way to learn about Redemptorist Center.  We can find times and days that work for your schedule.  This is a great opportunity for a family, business or church group!

Food Pick-Up Driver – Volunteers pick up donated food from grocery stores, restaurants and other businesses.  A great hands-on volunteer opportunity where you can clearly see how much you are helping.  We need drivers for 2-hour shifts any weekday.

Driver – Volunteer to help drive our seniors on activities on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the day (hours vary, but we can work with your schedule).  Must have valid drivers license, good driving record and good personal skills.

Employment Counselor -  Volunteer will help clients prepare resumes, learn interviewing skills and locate appropriate employment.  This is a great opportunity to make an enormous difference in someone else’s life.  We can work with you to schedule a time that works best for you if you are interested in helping people find employment.

Bingo Caller – Come and call out Bingo and Pokeno for a group of seniors from 12:30-2:30 PM on Thursdays.  Or come at 12:00 noon for lunch!

Home Delivery Driver – Deliver food to homebound seniors.  This is a very rewarding volunteer opportunity where you work directly with the older adults we serve.  Home deliveries is from 9:00AM-12:00noon on Thursday during the last full week of the month. 

Cook – This is not complicated cooking, so you don’t need to be a master chef.  One volunteer opportunity each morning on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays to warm and prepare meals for our senior hot lunch program. 

Carpenter, Electrician, Plumber, etc. – Skilled workers to help with minor home repairs for seniors and small projects at the Center.  Your donated skills are extremely valuable to those in need and can make a big difference in someone else’s life.  We can schedule a time that works best for you. 

Clerical Volunteers – Volunteers to help with periodic mailings, filing, office organizing  and a host of other clerical and administrative tasks.  We can be very flexible and work with your schedule if you have a few hours to donate to help those in need.

Clothing Closet Volunteer – Volunteers sort donated clothing and assist clients who need clothes.  Shifts available in the morning on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Food Pantry Volunteer – Volunteers prepare the food pantry for use by clients and assist clients in need of food.  This is a good opportunity if you like to see how your volunteer time makes a difference.  Shifts available in the morning on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Faith Community Liaisons – Are you a people person?  Do you like to help people get involved?  We need volunteers to serve as a link between Redemptorist Center and faith communities.  This is a great opportunity for someone who wants their church, synagogue, mosque or temple to become more active in the community.  Very flexible hours for this one.

Nurse volunteers – We need professional nurses to volunteer to do basic health screenings for our senior clients on any weekday morning.
