Office. Food Pantry. Thrift Store. Events
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday
9:30-12pm
Greeting Clients:
Greeters welcome clients and community visitors, directing them to the office or Thrift Shop. They also help those who are donating items for the Thrift Shop.
In the Office:
There are two to three office volunteers every day. Initial paper work is completed for a new client to identify their location in our service area, their financial need, and to make a list of family members in the household. With this information, the volunteer helps identify a client’s needs and they discuss how CN would be able to help.
There is some phone work to answer incoming calls, some recording to log a client’s visit and filing to organize client information. Having good people skills helps! Translators for English to Spanish, Spanish to English are always welcome.
In the Food Pantry:
There can be four to six volunteers every day. Stocking shelves, rotating stock, assisting shoppers as they select nutritious dry goods, paper supplies fresh and frozen foods for the client families. The amount of food received is directly related to the size of the household. Keeping the pantry clean and organized is also a top priority.
In the Thrift Shop:
There can be three to six volunteers receiving donations. It’s a surprise every day because you never know what’s coming in. Sorting, sorting and more sorting! You will be busy hanging clothes up by type, organizing and pricing knick-knacks for resale. A volunteer could help a client find the right size clothing they needed, or assist them with towels, sheets or blankets.
Seasonal Programs & Events:
There are lots of additional programs and events hosted by CN throughout the year, including packing Thanksgiving Baskets, assisting Christmas shoppers, assisting clients with winter coat selection, and filling backpacks with school supplies and helping shoppers. So, let us know if you are available to help serve at our exciting seasonal events or packing parties.
