Bake a treat or make a meal for our residents.
Assist in special events by collating handouts, decorating, ushering, or greeting guests.
There is so much work to be done “behind the scenes” in order to make WordPlay’s events and programs run smoothly. These opportunities cover a wide range of work, from physical to administrative. Volunteers may help us paint a new program space; print, fold and/or pack materials for an outreach event; or hang up flyers…
From open mic nights to Ride for Reading, WordPlay hosts several community events throughout the year. And the more people we have around to help, the better! Duties may include setting up/cleaning up; distributing flyers; greeting attendees and showing them where to go; serving food and drinks; and taking photos.
We offer anyone in need dignity within a safe environment to have a meal served by compassionate volunteers. Breakfast (6:45 am to 9 am) and dinner (3:45 pm to 6 pm) are served Monday through Friday (excluding major holidays). Volunteer groups are welcome to help fill hundreds of shifts each month.
Volunteers help collate various mailings at the center i.e. Newsletters, invitations, etc
We can engage volunteers to help serve the food, desserts, help members carry trays during lunch and help with any games or special activities that are included at our parties.
Wish Tree Volunteers assist with making ornaments, delivering ornaments, picking up gifts and delivering to center, wrapping gifts and assisting with delivery to Seniors.
