Our Community Center is looking volunteers willing to above and beyond in the following areas:
- Leading/assisting with devotions and recreational activities
- Providing meals for community center guests and staff
- Assisting with recreation time (this could mean helping to assist with crafts, leading games with the ladies, and/or watching movies depending upon the day)
- Putting together blessing bags; Blessing bags will contain a light meal for guests to take with them following their day at the community center (10 bags)
1.) Meal Providers Will Need To:

- Fruit: Grapes, Bananas, Fruit Cup with a Spoon, soft fruits
- Crackers or chips
- Dessert
- Drink
3.) What Would Leading/Assisting with Recreational Time Look Like?:
- Preparing an activity (of their choosing) with the understanding that participation is voluntary. It could be 100% participation and it could be 0% and that is perfectly fine. You are more than welcome to email ideas to the Community Center staff for feedback. The weather, size of the group, and personalities are a few of the many factors that dictate the afternoon needs and interests. The women often enjoy recreation activities, so we do our best to remain realistic in terms of what we can do with the resources we have!
Examples: A cold, rainy afternoon could result in tired ladies who would enjoy a quiet movie with popcorn. A sunny, warm afternoon might include sitting outside or participating games on the lawn. A laid back, quiet group might enjoy adult coloring to relax. Simple crafts usually spark interest in the ladies (or so we have found in the past). Games, such as bingo are often a big hit in our community center as well!
