WAYS TO VOLUNTEER

Since 2017, volunteers for Compassion Delivered have provided support in preparing and delivering meals, decorating bags used for meal delivery, and offering support as volunteers at events, in the office, or serving on our dedicated Board of Directors. Our volunteers are the secret ingredient to our success, and we cannot accomplish what we do each week without their dedication, skills, and compassion! Whether you can volunteer once a week, once a month, or once a quarter, Compassion Delivered will provide you with the training and the position that works best for your schedule and interests!

Meal Bag Decorating/Encouragement Cards

Many of our clients are isolated, do not have friends or family nearby, or are only in contact with a caregiver. Decorating meal bags or cards that are distributed to our clients can often bring much-needed happiness to someone struggling with their physical and mental health. This is a great way to volunteer for people of all ages and abilities and make great school projects! please email Jill at jill@compassiondelivered.org

There are multiple opportunities to get involved by sitting on committees alongside our board members to support our annual golf outing, annual gala, or community events. Responsibilities may include:

• Securing sponsorships or other financial support from local businesses
• Selling tickets
• Securing and gathering donated items for prizes or auction items
• Sharing information on your social media channels
• Signing up teams for golf outings
• Volunteering on event days for set-up, check-in, registrations, check-out, clean-up, etc.
