Please read carefully! Some things we do NOT need, some help we DO need and some help we WILL need in the future. Thanks for your interest!
WHAT WE DO NOT NEED:
SVdP does not stockpile furniture or houshold items due to lack of space, but if you have something to donate, please give us a call or use the contact form to let us know. We often know of people who need these goods and would be happy to connect with you. For most household goods, we refer clients and donors to the HARP Mission in Caldwell. The HARP charity has warehousing to accept these goods and stockpiles them for those in need.
IN THE FALL AND EARLY WINTER WE NEED CLOTHING.
Coats and jackets, work shoes and boots and socks, rain gear and men’s work gloves. Also there is an occasional need for bedding and towels. Items do not need to be new but must be laundered. The HARP Mission in Caldwell can also use donations of clean clothes.
VOLUNTEERS WE NEED:
* General volunteers are needed to interview and assist clients on the phone and in person. Presently interviews are done outside the SVdP office across from Saint Benedict Church in Cambridge or in the basement of the church, depending on weather.
* We need a general data entry volunteer to help keep our client records up to date.
* We need website developers to maintain and improve this COLSVDP.ORG website. If you know someone who might be interested in helping our conference and has a technology bent, this is an opportunity for someone who either knows or would like to learn WordPress. Young volunteers are welcome!
* We need a grant seeker.
* We need a backup volunteer for the general legwork of paying bills and meeting clients for IDs.
* We need a volunteer to learn the restore procedures for the website in case the site is hacked or crashes.
VOLUNTEERS WE WILL NEED:
* We will need volunteers to make home visits in the future to assist clients who are homebound or lack transportation.
