Fall-unteering!
Make a Difference This Season
One of the most rewarding and fun things anyone can do is to volunteer with a local organization. Nonprofits are in constant need of volunteers to help them provide their services. Volunteering can give children a sense of pride in helping others and instill a lifetime of giving back to their community.
Volunteering Can Teach Kids Life Lessons
Kids hear about other people their age doing amazing things that change lives. Volunteering teaches kids to:
Be responsible and committed to a project
Feel good about themselves
Have an impact on others
Work with people from different backgrounds and ages
Develop skills that may lead to a
future career
Avoid being bored
People’s City Mission –
a Great Place to Volunteer!
People’s City Mission has been helping people for over 100 years, providing them with emergency assistance for food, shelter, and clothing. Consider one of these opportunities to volunteer as a family:
Help at the solo daycare. This is volunteer-based and only open when a volunteer is present. Background check and orientation is required.
Serve meals. Kids ages 9 years or older can help serve a meal with an adult. Lunch is from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and dinner is from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Bus tables during lunch time, Monday - Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Here are other ways to get involved:
Meals to Go. Items would need to be purchased by the volunteer or raise funds to purchase them.
Collect items. Socks, blankets, backpacks, personal hygiene products, diapers, water, non-perishable foods, and other items can be collected.
Recycle dead textiles. Recycling dead textiles keeps them out of the landfills and helps to offset expenses for the Help Center facility.
Promote us on social media – likes and shares!
Donate water - an essential need in hot weather.
To sign up to volunteer, or for more information, e-mail Beneen, Volunteer Services Director, at ballen@pcmlincoln.org or call at 402-475-1303, ext. 114. Get your child involved today!
