Make a difference, Volunteer!

Looking for volunteer opportunities?  At http://www.handsoncentralcal.org/ you can find 100+ opportunities in almost any field you can think of.  Here are a few current opportunities:

Book Bank
Description: Process books to be given to schools in low-income neighborhoods

Blue Ribbon Display Outreach
Description: Help paint the town Blue!  Tie blue ribbons around the trees in Downtown Court House and the Tower District in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Spend Friday night with a special needs child
Description:  Often families struggle emotionally and spiritually because of the effect disability can have on the family.  Joni and Friends has started a program to provide temporary respite (relief) for parents of children with special needs.  The purpose of the program is to give these parents free time to go on a date, grab coffee, or just run errands without interruption.

If neither of these interests you, remember we have plenty more opportunities available on our website.  So drop on by; you never know what might catch your eye.
