We are in need of vaccinated front desk volunteers from 7am-12pm, 12pm-5pm, and 5pm-10pm. We need volunteers especially on weekends to fill these shifts.
Front desk volunteers answer phone calls, receive donations, and distribute hygiene items to guests. The front desk is the first face at House of Mercy and qualified volunteers must be compassionate and able to work in a diverse setting.
Could you commit to a shift once a week? If so please contact Valerie, valerie@houseofmercyrochester.org or call 585-546-2580 x103
