ORGANIZATION: Goodman Community Center

Join us at the Food For Thought Initiative's Thea's Table program to provide weekend food to families of homeless students. The program provides six meals for every member of the family to cover the entire weekend. We feed 40 families, which ends up being around 200 people being fed each weekend and about 20,000 meals since the start of the program in November of 2016.

We are looking for volunteers to support this program by delivering food bags to schools in the Madison Metropolitan School District. Volunteer drivers pick up food at First Methodist Church and deliver them to 2-3 schools.

Your help is needed every Thursday meeting at First United Methodist Church. There are two shifts, one starting at 10 am and another at 11 am. Driver assignments change from week to week so you should be available from 10 am - 12 pm on Thursdays.

You'll need a reliable vehicle, a clean drivers record, and the ability to lift and carry 10 - 15 lb bags of food. Minimum age is 21. We ask for at least a three month commitment.

* Flexible position as sub available as well

Mission Statement

Our Mission: The Goodman Community Center strengthens lives and secure futures. Our Vision: A community that’s thriving because everyone is valued and has the resources they need to be successful. Our Values: GCC is committed to creating and maintaining a community that respects and values diverse life experiences. Everyone deserves respect and acceptance without bias. We engage the perspectives and voices of our community and ensure they are reflected in our culture.

Description

The Goodman Community Center is not your average community center. As I get to talking with people about Goodman, they inevitably end up surprised. They’re surprised by how many programs and resources we offer, how beautiful our facilities are, or how many people we serve. Every year more than 30,000 people use the Center - some who come to one event, others who are very familiar faces here.

Thanks to our generous community, we just built and moved into a second beautiful facility across the street, the Brassworks building. We’re now reconfiguring and refreshing the Center’s first home on Waubesa Street, the Ironworks building. During this past ten years, we’ve nearly doubled in size.

Our staff are committed to learning and continually improving, too. That’s why each program uses a variety of tools to measure impacts for both the program overall, and for each individual participant. We use that data to constantly fine-tune what we do - and how we do it.

We’re glad Goodman is one of many organizations in the Madison area who are pouring themselves into making our community great - for us all. We hope you’ll join us. Because we know that every good thing that happens here is made possible by people like you.
