In this time of COVID-19, we are in need of volunteer Program Assistants to support our homeless Benefits Access Department (BAD). BAD is an essential service for people experiencing homelessness, providing mail, payee, and budgeting services for those receiving public benefits. Volunteer Program Assistants will support staff with the following duties:

• Completing client intakes
• Returning phone calls
• Processing client mail
• Data entry
• Additional administrative assistance

Shifts are available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays most hours 9am-5pm. Apply online here: https://associatedministries.org/get-involved/volunteer/

The Benefits Access Department is a program of Associated Ministries, a non-profit organization located in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma, WA. We are an interfaith organization, uniting communities of all different faiths to work together toward lasting solutions to homelessness. We provide housing services to people experiencing homelessness, as well as support to modest and low income households as a form of homeless prevention. We strive to create an anti-racist multicultural environment for all clients, staff, and volunteers who come through our doors. Learn more about us here: https://associatedministries.org/

Please note: this is an in person volunteer opportunity. Volunteers will be following guidelines provided by United Way Pierce County in order to safely volunteer at our site during the COVID-19 crisis.
