FISH Volunteers . . .
FISH volunteers come from many backgrounds and experiences. For example, young parents or retirees do phone duty from home; workers make after-hours or weekend food deliveries; and families or scout groups work together sorting donated canned goods.
New volunteers (individuals or families/groups working together) are always welcome and much needed. The commitment is nominal and the rewards are great!
Primary volunteer categories are:
TELEPHONE VOLUNTEERS...typically have duty one day a month or more. They work anonymously from home interviewing clients in need via phone, and using the FISH network to help get them food or other assistance. Training is provided and back-up guidance is always available.
DELIVERY VOLUNTEERS... deliver food to clients and typically serve one or two days a month at a time convenient to their schedule.
SERVICE VOLUNTEERS.. have a wide range of opportunities to: sort food, pick up food at schools, write grant proposals, serve on the Steering Committee, promote volunteerism and fundraising efforts, liaison with local business, groups, churches, etc.
