Greeters are the first volunteers that guests, service providers, and other volunteers come in contact with! This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone that is outgoing, friendly or just likes to be helpful. Greeters will be stationed along Roberson Street, in the main parking lots, at the front of Hargraves Community Center, and just about everywhere. Greeters will welcome everyone as they walk in, guide them to where they are going, answer questions, and may assist in the parking lots helping people into parking spots.

Intake Volunteers work closely with guests as they first arrive to assess what services and needs they have. Intake volunteers interview guests on an individual basis, assist them in filling out forms as well as explain what services are available that day. Having experience doing direct service work or a social work background is helpful but not required.

Escorts are a friendly and helpful guide for guests as they navigate the event. Escorts help guests prioritize services, assisting with filling out paperwork if needed, and maybe even enjoying a meal together! Spanish speakers are encouraged to volunteer as Escorts to help translate for Spanish-speaking guests.

Spanish Interpreters will assist guests during all aspects of the event. You may be partnered with a guest and escort them as they visit services, you may be stationed at the Intake area helping different guests as they are intaked, or you may be stationed as a greeter. If you are fluent in Spanish and flexible with what you are willing to do....we'd love your help!

Food Volunteers will assist with preparing and serving breakfast, lunch and snacks during the event. Volunteers act as wait staff and serve meals in a family-style restaurant atmosphere.

Photographers document the event by taking pictures throughout the event at all locations. Photographers will need to be trained in the event confidentiality issues prior to taking pictures. Volunteer photographers must provide their own digital cameras.

Volunteer Table Assistants will help other volunteers as they sign in for their shifts, answer questions about assignments, and direct volunteers to the appropriate place. Volunteers may also assist coordinators as runners during the event.

Coat Booth Volunteers will organize the FREE COATS area and assist guests with finding and trying on coats - generously donated by the PTA Thrift Shop.

Voter Registration Volunteers walk around the event with voter registration information and assist guests if they need help filling out the forms.

Salon Assistants will help the volunteer barbers as they cut hair, by cleaning up the hair stations and keeping a wait-list of guests' names.

Foot Washing Volunteers will spend time with guests cleaning and pampering their feet as health care providers assess guests for medical conditions.
