Opportunities From: Volunteer Hub

Looking for a regular, weekly commitment with the Eppson Center? Want to get involved and help seniors, but have a busy life of your own? This is the opportunity for you! Loan Closet attendants are needed from 12-4pm Monday-Friday, with shifts lasting one hour, though you may sign up for as many as you'd like! Our Loan Closet is stocked with essential medical equipment like wheelchairs, canes, walkers, knee scooters, and more, that we loan out to seniors and community members in need. This is a rewarding, social volunteer opportunity, and the best part is that it comes with some down time! Feel free to bring a book or some homework to work on in between helping visitors. 

We are looking for someone to regularly call bingo on Tuesdays from 10:30-11:30!

This is not yet a formal opportunity, but we are trying to gauge possible interest from volunteers. This would be an opportunity for volunteers to work more one-on-one with patrons. Many seniors often need help with tasks and chores outside of the Center, including light housekeeping, moving assistance (i.e. getting rid of a large item or multiple items), or light grocery shopping. This would allow volunteers to provide assistance in a very meaningful way that would make a big difference in the life of a senior.

This is not yet a formal opportunity, but we are trying to gauge possible interest from volunteers. This would be a monthly opportunity for volunteers to spend time with patrons and have the chance to hang out in the Center. We would provide coffee, conversation topics, and games in a laid back setting! This would allow volunteers the chance to engage more with our patrons, and provide meaningful interaction with new individuals.  

This is a great opportunity to get to know patrons and do some meaningful work for them. Everyday, we serve dozens of seniors lunch, and this opportunity would give you the chance to brighten their day. 

We are in need of volunteers to help our Home Delivered Meals coordinator prepare and seal meals to be sent off to our home-bound patrons. This could be a one-time or recurring opportunity depending on flexibility. 

We are looking for volunteers who would be interested in sitting at the front desk as-needed when our receptionist is out!

The Eppson Center has a medical equipment Loan Closet that is open for use by any individual in the community in need of a wheelchair, walker, cane, knee scooter, and more. These items come in and out of the Center on a daily basis, and thus get disorganized over time. This volunteer opportunity would allow flexible scheduling and independence to come in, sort through items, and get everything put away neatly. We are looking for multiple volunteers to come in when and for as long that their schedule allows.
