REGISTRATION IS CLOSED! We've filled almost all of our volunteer spots. If you want to volunteer, stop by walk-in registration between 8:00-11:00 am Sunday.

 

   

  Visit with Someone - Engaging in a conversation with someone can make a big impact. Whether you are escorting a resident to lunch, playing a game of cards, doing arts & crafts projects or visiting a hospital room, you will have the chance to brighten someone’s day.  

Focus on the Music - Do you like to sing? Do you play an instrument? Spread holiday cheer by sharing your musical abilities, check out these projects. They either feature caroling as the main focus of the project and/or need someone with the skills to play a particular instrument. Song books provided. 

Painting  - Volunteers will help brighten up the CCNV for residents by applying a fresh coat of paint to the hypothermia unit, TV lounge, hallways, bathrooms and several lobbies.

     At the J - You don’t have to travel far to have an impact throughout our community. Choose one of the projects hosted at the Washington DCJCC. Only a few spaces left!

Deliver a Meal  - 1 car with at least 2 adults = a team
Get your friends/family together deliver a meal to home bound residents. These projects great as a family activity because the children can assist with the delivery, unless otherwise noted. 

Throw a Party - Outgoing and creativity personalities are what we seek for these projects.  Volunteers will help organize and lead activities to engage and entertain.  The DCJCC will provide some games, crafts and desserts to help add to the festivities.

Help get Organized - If you’re interested in a little bit of everything, this may be the project for you.  Activities will range from distributing gifts to organizing donations. 

Great for Small Groups - Gather a group of friends or family and work on a project together.  These projects are ideal for groups of 3-6 people.

Prepare a Meal/Serve a Meal - Chopping, dicing, slicing, assembling, servng…if these words resonate with you then check out these projects.

 

Please note the minimum ages for volunteers of each project. If there is no minimum listed then all ages are welcome to attend.

Happy 25th Anniversary Celebration
