Volunteer Services Teams

 

Our Volunteer Services Teams are vital to the success of our program. They support the multiple activities of the house. There are many essential roles that our wonderful volunteers are responsible for.

The teams do not have regular meetings. When an activity or project needs to be done you will be contacted by the team leader or a staff person. They will give you information on the various opportunities available.

The House Team – The House Team plays an important role in the daily running of the house as well as collecting information on the history of the house.

  • Shop for food
  • Pick up bread (donations from local bakery)
  • Maintain Auxiliary membership and directory
  • Maintain the history book
  • Annual volunteer and auxiliary luncheon

Office and Front Desk Team – Our most important function is working with our guests. We have about 217 guests a month so we have a lot of back office work. In addition to working at the front desk there are opportunities to help us in the office with filing, data entry, and general office support.
