Our First Impressions team is very much in need of greeters, ushers, and Welcome Desk volunteers for our Saturday and Sunday services! If you are interested in serving, please contact our Connections Director Haley Wiggers ([email protected]) or Grace Trautman ([email protected]).
Kid Central Volunteers Needed
We're excited to have reopened our Early Childhood programming for kids between the ages of 1-year-old and entering kindergarten! Now that we're open, we're asking for volunteers willing to help keep it running safely and smoothly. Our biggest needs are for the Saturday evening services as well as the 11:00am Sunday morning services, but we'll happily take volunteers for any service. If you or your family are interested in helping, please contact our Associate Children's Director, Robyn Ernster, at [email protected]
Lasagna Love
Lasagna Love seeks to address the rise in food insecurity among families, but also to provide a simple act of love and kindness during a time of uncertainty and stress. They are currently looking for volunteers to prepare meals and deliver them. Volunteers AND families in need can register at LASAGNALOVE.ORG.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – ROAD TO RECOVERY PROGRAM
The Road To Recovery program currently has several Road To Recovery volunteers who provide rides to and from cancer treatment appointments. Unfortunately, demand for rides in our area significantly exceed our current volunteer capacity—and it continues to grow. To learn how you can volunteer and help, visit cancer.org/drive.
Family Visitation Center
Family Visitation Center (FVC) exists to empower children to maintain healthy relationships with their family members through safe supervised visitations and exchanges. Children served by FVC have been caught in the middle of complicated family dynamics like divorce, domestic violence, or substance abuse.
Safe supervised visits offer families the opportunity to spend time together in one of four private, child-friendly rooms monitored by professional, well-trained staff through video/audio observation from another room.
Approximately 125 - 140 families (250+ children) access FVC’s safe supervised visitation and exchange services each month. Approximately 95% of the children served by FVC come from low- to moderate-income families; a number of them living in the core area (Pettigrew Heights/Axtell Park) of the city.
