Volunteer opportunities exist for individuals or groups within multiple areas of our ministry.
Our volunteers are the driving force of Greenhouse Ministries as we rely on 500 hours each week to accomplish our mission. We have various opportunities from peer counseling to donation sorting. We have something for everyone!
volunteer opportunities
We offer multiple classes for our clients such as anger management, cooking, computer, etc. Teaching a class is a perfect opportunity to share your expertise and skills with our clients. Classes can be taught based on the teacher’s availability (weekly, biweekly, etc.)
We receive multiple types of donations including furniture, food, clothing, household goods, and more. When the donations come in we need volunteers to sort, price, and organize.
Garden Patch volunteers work in our thrift store and help decorate, put up merchandise, and any other store duties as directed.
Volunteers would assist staff members with the loading and unloading of furniture from our box truck.
Our peer counselors are essential to Greenhouse and work directly with clients. Peer counselors talk with clients and help assist them in their immediate needs. This is perfect for volunteers who love people and want to work directly with our clients.
Personal Shopper work one on one with clients in our Spring House to help assist them as they gather the necessary items that have been designated to be collected for them.
Event opportunities and bullet point the events Mobile Food Pantries, Fix it Fair, Live in the ‘Boro, and more!
We host 6 -7 mobile food pantries a year. The mobile food pantries are where we are given a truck load of perishable and nonperishable foods. Each client receives a full shopping cart of food. Volunteers help with prayer, pushing carts, and putting food in carts. These are great for larger groups. We also have a monthly newsletter that needs stuffing and sealing – this is also a great group opportunity. Other special events include off-campus food giveaways, events at partner locations, helping with maintenance of our properties and more as events are planned.
