A lot of us think about volunteering but one of the reasons some people don't follow through is the time commitment, or what they perceive to be the time commitment.
The good news is that Shepherds of Good Hopes has volunteer opportunities that allow for a lot of flexibility. And this week, we started to highlight one of those opportunities.
On our website under the volunteer section, we're advertising for volunteers who only want to volunteer for special holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving or Easter. Those are big days for us. We've even created a special form you can fill out online if you're interested.
I think this is a great opportunity for people who are thinking about volunteering but don't know if they can commit to a regular volunteer shift. By volunteering for a special holiday, you get an opportunity to come in, see what we do, and help serve the clients. Coming in for a one-time event might be the thing that leads you to a rewarding life of volunteering. It also helps us, but more importantly, it helps the 1,600 men and women who rely on us every day.
