Saint Bernadette is a member of Eastern Area Community Ministry. EACM is located in the John Knox Presbyterian Church on Westport Road. EACM seeks to help those struggling to meet basic needs. Your time and talent, whether it is one-on-one or behind the scenes, means so much to clients. Volunteers are the backbone of the operations.
Time: Volunteer time varies depending on how much you would like to be involved.
Gifts and talents: Food Pantry volunteers: stock shelves, prepare food orders (groceries bags are packed according to Dare to Care guidelines) or weigh in donated groceries from various sources. Office volunteers may be assigned a variety of tasks which may include front office (answering calls and welcoming clients), volunteers also do intakes or updates- this is simply completing a questionnaire that gathers general info such as number in household, income, etc. There is also emergency assistance - this involves helping the clients pay for a utility bill. Data entry is also needed. Training is provided to volunteers. General computer skills needed, very little. Meals on Wheels drivers are also needed.
