Our Volunteer Program
Volunteers R Us. Tri-Lakes Cares provides service to our community because of over 200-committed community members who give us countless hours each year. We have a group of dedicated volunteers who carry out many of the day-day operational activities for Tri-Lakes Cares. We have nearly 85 active volunteers, many who have been with us for 5-15 years. Volunteers keep the warehouse running, staff the pantry during open hours, and provide tax help. They manage programs, keep up with extra administrative duties, people special projects and assist with fundraising. The volunteers greet our clients with a smile so we are able to make a difference each day.
Several groups in the community continue to support our efforts: Kiwanis (formerly Sertoma) with the Empty Bowl Dinner, Harvest of Love, and the Holiday Program; a number of Boy and Girl Scout Troops and individual Eagle projects; church youth groups; adult church groups and others from throughout the community.
Representing warehouse work, staffing the pantry, tax help, administrative help, special projects such as managing the Federal Commodities Program, and fundraising. Our group of volunteers contributes an estimate of over 11,000 hours each year! Volunteer opportunities have increased exponentially in our new facility and at our Hangers Thrift Store.
Opportunities range from the very general -we can always use folks with trucks - to specific. We have “managerial” opportunities for those who want a more in depth role.
