Ongoing Volunteering Needs
Reception & Customer HELP Service – Good News Project is looking for volunteers to answer phones, fill in paperwork, & greet guests. Other small duties may be assigned during down time. This position would need to commit at least a ½ day per week on a regular schedule.
Health Equipment Maintenance – Volunteers are needed to assist with equipment repairs on our durable medical equipment. Responsibilities may include replacing arm rests, repairing brakes, and other small repairs and intricate work such as electrical maintenance for our high specialty items. General repair knowledge is requested for these opportunities. Most tools can be found on location, but having one’s own tools is ideal.
Bulk Mailings – A few times each year Good News Project mails out large numbers of postal pieces. To save on the cost, we use bulk mailing services offered by the Post Office. Volunteers are needed to apply labels, stuff envelopes, add inserts, close with a seal, organize, and count…mostly while seated at a table. Please let us know if you want to be on our ‘bulk mailing call’ list.
