Volunteer Opportunities
 

Volunteer with a Family

For Generosity Week we ask that you SHARE with others what you are already doing for Respite Volunteers

Share a story about how you volunteer and what it does for you. If talking about the person served, leave out their name please. Share moments, encounters, and stories when talking to your friends and family. You can also share with your friends information on our program and opportunities:

  • Share our information at your church by displaying brochures, posting events and asking if we could speak to your congregation, a class, or your pastor

  • Join us at special events such as craft shows and share information about us

  • Lawn work (flowerbed upkeep, raking, snow shoveling and more) is good for those that want to be outside

  • Building maintenance

  • One-time volunteering offers (such as a project in the office, substitute volunteer to fill in for those going south for the winter) are good for your friends that aren’t sure

  • Share your story with our staff too

​

​Generosity Week is a global five day celebration of giving, held from December 1 (GivingTuesday) to December 5 (International Volunteer Day), encouraging people, communities, companies, and churches to give time, skills, and resources. Generosity Week aims to strengthen communities, celebrate volunteerism, and inspire sustained acts of kindness, service, and giving. We plan to share your Respite Volunteering stories, since you are already so generous
