can become involved in this important ministry to women and children. Our volunteers are
compassionate and dependable individuals who give of their time and talents to make a
difference in the lives of others. Training is provided here at the Center.Ongoing opportunities (only 2 hours per week!):Receptionists: We need friendly faces to greet and assist clients, give out diapers and formula, and receive donations. We also need cheerful voices to answer phone calls, set up appointments, provide referrals, and occasionally offer helpful advice. Training is provided. Mentors: Caring women are needed to meet with clients who come for a pregnancy test, to provide information on pregnancy-related issues, to provide referrals, and most of all, to provide support and a listening ear. Training (and training manual) provided. Sorting donations: We need people with energy and organizational skills to help organize and distribute the steady flow of baby clothes and furniture donated to the Center. The Baby Closet receives many visitors each day and needs to be replenished continuously. Other volunteer ideas:Baskets of Blessings: This gift would be given to a mother and her newborn baby. It may be packaged in a laundry basket and may include a wide variety of baby layette items, from sleepers and blankets to bottles and shampoo! You may also include a Bible for the mother. Not only is a Basket of Blessings a wonderful way to share the love of Christ with her, but it really gets mom and baby off to a great start! Practical Projects: There are many ways you or your church and/or community group can help the center, on a one-time or steady basis. The list is endless so please call the Fox Valley Pregnancy Center for ideas! If you would like to volunteer some of your time and talent, please call us for more information at (847) 697-0200. |
