Dorcas Ministries has been meeting the needs of our neighbors in financial crisis for 52 years. Fueled by a team of over 500 volunteers who believe in what we do; we welcome you to join us in making a difference!
We hope volunteering with us will be an enriching life experience. If you have other talents that may add to our organization, please let us know.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us at Dorcas!
We have volunteer opportunities available in four main areas:
Our volunteers typically work a 3-hour shift, one day a week. Individuals wishing to volunteer should fill out the Online Volunteer Form or pick one up in the Dorcas Thrift Shop.
Once applications have been submitted, the Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meeting. The meeting will serve as a general assessment of where might be a good fit between the potential volunteer and the needs of Dorcas Ministries.
We will provide training and have new volunteers shadow an experienced volunteer. Volunteer positions will be determined based on a number of factors including what duties the individual wishes to perform and the needs at that particular time.
For more information, email Michael Sondel, our Volunteer Coordinator.
