Do you want to volunteer in a way that makes a direct impact?

Do you want to talk to people in need directly, listen to them and be able to take an action that can really be of help?

Do you want to volunteer in a friendly environment where other volunteers and staff get to know each other? Where bi-monthly volunteer lunches are planned to show appreciation?

Then consider this volunteer opportunity: Friends In Deed’s FURNITURE HELPLINE.

We need volunteers who can commit to one morning a week working on our helpline. Currently, we need volunteers Monday through Friday from 9:30am-2:00pm. Timeslots are dependent upon your availability.

Tasks would include taking phone calls from donors and clients, advising clients as to what crisis situation documentation is needed to begin the process of getting on the wait list, completing intakes with clients, taking information from donors as to items being donated, etc.

Interested?

About FRIENDS IN DEED

Location:

1196 ECORSE RD, YPSILANTI, MI 48198, US

Mission Statement

Helping People in Need; Building Community to End Poverty.

Description

For over 35 years, Friends In Deed has helped families in Washtenaw County weather the emergency crises that would otherwise lead to financial disaster. Not only do we help people with basic-needs furniture, we help when an unexpected car repair threatens employment, when a utility is about to be turned off, when a family member has a medical or dental need they cannot afford, and with much, much more.

While our programs to date have been aimed at helping low-income families survive poverty, we implemented a new program in 2017 that focuses on lifting families out of it: Circles Washtenaw County. Friends In Deed operates as the Washtenaw County chapter of Circles USA; a model that has over 70 chapters across the nation. The program’s unique strategy utilizes education, goal setting, training and relationships to help clients develop the resources and social capital they need to rise out of poverty and achieve economic independence.
