Beginning in 2021, our food pantry program allows a family to select their own groceries themselves at the Meijer store in Troy. We schedule COA volunteers to meet folks at the store where they can shop for their own non-taxable food items up to a preset amount, then a volunteer will pay for the groceries…
For families with children, we provide a special gift for each child, aged infant to 18, and schedule shopping days at the Troy Kohl’s so parents can shop for clothing for their children. COA volunteers are at the store to assist with purchases. Shopping hours are planned for the first week or so in December.
Our Back to School Program is an annual late summer event where parents can sign their school children up for a backpack with grade appropriate supplies and pick it up before the first day of school. COA works with the school office to pay for school fees, if needed.
In addition, USS offers opportunities for service and enrichment through the RSVP – Retired and Senior Volunteer Program – for seniors aged 55 and better. RSVP is a part of AmeriCorp Seniors. RSVP helps seniors find volunteer opportunities with non-profits and government agencies in Clark County.
USS has a wide variety of challenging volunteer opportunities for all ages. Some volunteers assist in administrative duties, while others provide hands-on services. Opportunities are matched to a volunteer’s skills and interests.
Each of our talented volunteers are matched with one of our needs, in an area that compliments their interests and strengths. Whether you love music, enjoy gardening, or love making new friends, we want to help you find the place in our community where you feel you belong and can best serve our residents
