Volunteer
Thank you for interest in volunteering with FIRC!
Urgent Needs: Anything you can do to help with the following would be greatly appreciated. Contact anitao@summitfirc.org.
Food Share America Volunteers
Time commitment: Two hours a month
Description: Food Share America is a discount grocery program where residents can pre-order their food and it is delivered the third Saturday of the month. We are looking for a few volunteers to help with the Saturday distribution from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Data Entry for Families United Program
Skills: Typing
Time commitment: Recommend coming in once or twice a week for a few hours.
Benefit to FIRC: Our Parent Educators spend many hours on data entry. This takes away from the time they want to dedicate to home visits.
Bright Beginnings Volunteer:
Bright Beginnings is a 45 minute home visit that helps parents with the basics on raising children. English and Spanish speaking volunteers needed.
Skills: Enjoy working with families
Training: Our Parent Educators will provide training and accompany to home visits until you feel comfortable to be on your own.
Mileage: Transportation is needed and mileage is reimbursed.
Benefit to FIRC: Bright Beginnings has a large demand. More volunteers equals more families served.
Background Check: yes
Store Assistance at Summit Thrift & Treasure Thrift Store
Time commitment: 4 hours a month but will happily increase if you have time
Tasks: Sorting, pricing and organizing donations
Benefit to FIRC: Revenue from the Summit Thrift & Treasure is a major contributor of financing FIRC programs. Donations keep the store in business and we greatly need help organizing the donations so they can be sold.
Packet Assembly and Copying
Time commitment: 1-3 hours a week
Benefits to FIRC: All of our programs have information to give to those in need. Helping with these office duties will free up FIRC staff to devote more time to clients and home visits.
