Volunteers are integral to our organization. Below you will find a list of volunteer opportunities that are typically available. If you find one of interest, complete the application form below.
Volunteer Opportunities
EMT – Emergency Mobility Team
Our community’s EMTs maintain the firehouse equipment, while being ready to respond at a moment’s notice. FaithWorks’ EMTs volunteer in the office for a four-hour period every week and are ready to drive someone to a doctor’s appointment, deliver food to a family or elderly person, and/or address a crisis need in our community.
Client Services Representatives
Working at our Sparrows Nest or at our Cancer Network of Hope, CSRs meet with persons who come to us seeking help. Listening to the stories of others validates them as children of God and people of worth. While we cannot meet every need presented to us, we often can help some and point them to places where other help is available.
Angelfood
Join us once a month (typically the third Saturday) as we distribute food ordered through Angelfood; or help staff at an ordering site during ordering week.
Child Mentoring
FaithWorks is an official partner with Burroughs Molette Elementary School; however, each child in every school can use a mentor! Contact the Board of Education for more information.
Reentry Team
Persons reentering the community after incarceration face numerous challenges. We have opportunities for mentoring, coaching, teaching, case management, job training, and more.
Local Ministry Coordinator
Various youth and adult groups from outside our area contact us for opportunities to perform a local mission project while visiting the Golden Isles. We need volunteers to help coordinate and host these special people who seek to serve our community.
Samaria Initiative. We have several ongoing programs to help persons safely serve those who live in poverty or who face difficult challenges. These include our Wolfe Street Food Distribution (Tuesdays at 1:00), our Community Garden, the Burroughs Molette Mentoring Program, our Norwich Corridor Focus, and other short term opportunities.
Homeless Transition Team
We currently offer transitional housing (1-3 nights) for homeless persons who are being discharged from the local hospital. Eventually, we hope to offer permanent supportive housing for homeless and those at risk of homelessness. There are numerous ways we can connect you to the homeless who live along the Norwich Corridor.
Food Bank
Stock our shelves, fill bags, and
distribute them to those who visit our office on
Altama Avenue. We give out over 50 tons of
food every year!
Cancer Network of Hope
Visit with residents of Karen’s House of Hope, make telephone calls or send cards offering encouragement to cancer survivors, knit prayer shawls, lead support groups, wash and change linens, and more!
Sparrows Nest
A Clearing House for local churches assisting families with utilities, medicines, food, and other needs.
Fundraising. Assist in planning and implementation of various fundraising events throughout the year.
Neighbor Connection. We always need trucks and backs to help pick up furniture and other items that persons wish to donate. Help us keep a long list of persons and trucks so that we can have people available when needs arise.
How Your Organization Can Help. Churches, schools, civic clubs, service clubs, businesses, and others can organize food drives, toiletry collections, home repair projects, neighborhood cookouts, street cleanups, etc. Feel free to call us with your ideas!
