The Welcome house volunteer possibilities...

Here is the letter that was sent to me to give us a couple of ideas on things we could go for our next mission project...let me know what yall think:

Volunteer Ideas

Childcare volunteers- Volunteer are needed for childcare on October 4th, 18th, November 1st and 15th. Parents will be attending a training class and free childcare will be provided. Volunteers can bring activities or play games with the children. Times are from 5:45-8:15.

Collect food and stock pantry- This time of the year our shelves become bare and we could use volunteers to collect food for our Emergency Assistance Program and then stock the shelves in our pantry.

Cook a Meal for Shelter- Volunteers are always welcome to pre-cook a meal and deliver it to the shelter. There are typically 30-35 women and children staying in the shelter. Meal would need to be able to be reheated.

Halloween Party- Staying at the shelter can be difficult for the women and children. With this in mind, we try to have fun activities on different occasions. The party could be geared specifically for children.

“Adopt a Family” for Christmas- Welcome House receives most of its support for the entire year during the Christmas Season. Groups are encouraged to adopt a family to help support Welcome House clients throughout the year. The family you adopt may or may not be a current client, but the gifts will be used throughout the year as we see new clients. Typically gifts include alarm clocks, dishes, sheets, pillows, etc.

Wrap presents- Prior to Christmas we look for a group to come and wrap gifts for the women and children who are staying at our shelter.

Sort Basement- When Christmas gifts arrive we are looking for volunteers to help sort and organize the basement.
