I want to volunteer!

Q: Why should I volunteer at the Samaritan Center?

A: When you volunteer your time at the Samaritan Center, you volunteer to support your community.

Volunteers help to sort everything from clothing to legos. (When these items are sold in our thrift store, the money they raise helps to fund our programs and services.)

Volunteers know that when they leave the Center, their time has been well-spent; after all, everything they have done that day will in some way aid their neighors in need.

Volunteer categories include:
Individual Volunteers
Family Volunteers
Group Volunteers

Potential volunteer positions include: 
Pick-up Assistants 
Appliance Testers 
Handymen (and Handywomen) 
Thrift Store Helpers 
Volunteer Nurses
Toy Sorters
Clothing Processors
Much, Much More!

Q: When can I volunteer? 

A: Volunteers are welcome during our office hours from 9 am to 4 pm on Monday through Thursday. If you cannot come during these times, special arrangments can be made.      

There is no minimum volunteer time, but often the most fulfilling experiences are those which happen over an extended period of time during which relationships can be built. We have all sorts of volunteers, ranging from those who work one or two hours to those who work here full-time.

We are very flexible; volunteers can come in on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly basis. Of course, the more often volunteers can come, the more they help us move towards our goal of offering help for today and hope for tomorrow for our community.

Q: Are there special benefits for those volunteers who are 55+?

A: Yes, the Samaritan Center partners with RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) so that seniors can get meal vouchers and partial reimbursement for their gas when they come to volunteer at the Center. For more information, click here.

To get involved, call 238-7777, ext. 24, or click here.
