Gary’s House greatly depends on the gracious spirit of volunteerism and the generous gifts of time and talent from those who volunteer. We currently have volunteering opportunities in the following areas that might be of interest to you:
- Phone coverage and guest check-ins for some days, in the evenings and on weekends.
- Freshen rooms and assist with household tasks.
- Shopping and cooking meals. Perhaps you, your family, coworkers, a group of friends, or an organization of which you are a member would like to bring in a prepared meal for the guests, or prepare a meal on-site in the Gary’s House kitchen. You may also prefer to make individual meals that could be frozen and reheated.
- Seasonal projects such as yard work, planting flowers, interior household cleaning and holiday decorating tasks.
- Office related duties which may include data entry, phone calls to businesses, and sending out mailings.
- Making cards (get well, generic, holiday) for guests to take to their loved ones.
- Making up snack bags with granola bars, crackers, fruit, gum, mints, juice box, water or sport drinks, for example.
