Giving a helping hand to help others. Caritas needs YOU! We need volunteers to keep our organization running and providing necessary services to our clients. We have seen an increased number of clients due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the amount of volunteers we have affects how many we are able to serve.
Check out the options we have for your helping hand!
Food pantry -assisting clients with their food orders - when not filling grocery baskets; volunteers may sort and bag food items.
Gifts in Kind (GIK) -The GIK area resembles a small shoppette. Other non-profits in the area, as well as out of state, can come and shop for their clients. Volunteers are needed to sort, mark and display merchandise.
Warehouse - sort and organize all arriving goods. Our warehouse volunteers contribute to a smooth and safe operation that keeps the inventory moving to our clients who need them the most.
