As many people worldwide celebrate Holy Week, regardless of your religion it makes you think of others less fortunate than you might be, and how you can help.
The News-Journal weekly prints At Your Service, a column describing hot lines and volunteer opportunities in Volusia County.
While there are many, here are three which are timely:
American Red Cross-Florida's Coast to Coast Chapter -- Disaster Action Team volunteers needed to respond to single family or apartment fires. Also, disaster services volunteers are also needed for disaster planning, preparedness, community disaster education and mitigation.
Children's Home Society -- Volunteers are needed to serve on the board of directors. Attend the Board Recruitment Breakfast on April 21, to learn about the agency, its services, an the expectations of a board member of a nonprofit.
Easter Seals Joey's Gift -- Respite care volunteers needed once per month to serve as playtime companions to children with special needs while their caregivers have some personal time off (April 18 in Daytona Beach, April 25 in DeLand).
And two related to my industry:
Flagler Habitat for Humanity -- Volunteer committee members are needed to serve on the Development, Family Selection, & Family Support committees. Clerical volunteers are also needed.
Southwest Volusia Habitat for Humanity -- Skilled construction volunteers are needed for building homes on Saturdays in Southwest Volusia County.· Star Family Center -- Front desk/receptionist, clothes and donation sorting, mailings and data input volunteers. Training provided.
I'll write a later blog on Habitat for Humanity, but it is one of the most wonderful volunteer opportunities we Realtors have to serve the community.
