Volunteer
Since our founding volunteers have been the very heart of everything we do. Volunteers are the core of our organization and deliver the majority of direct services to our recipients. In short, we couldn’t do the work we do without you.
We have all sorts of volunteer opportunities which vary from weekly to episodic throughout the year and we aim to match volunteers and assignment based upon interests, skills, and availability as well as ICS needs.
Volunteers work as part of a team, contribute to the welfare of the community and the organization and are recognized for their important contributions.
As an ICS volunteer, you will have the chance to grow and develop through participation in special training events, educational offerings, and volunteer meetings.
Volunteer opportunities through ICS offer a wide array of unique ways to help your community. We do our best to match your interests and skills with high need areas. All of our four main program areas need your help. Community Health Outreach, Emergency Assistance, Caregiving and Senior Services, and Self-Sufficiency programs. These may include but are not limited to, helping in the food bank, driving a senior to a doctor’s appointment, delivering for Mobile Meals, answering phones, representing ICS at community outreach events, conducting intake interviews, helping with fundraising events, helping someone write their resume and look for a job. You can also help with committee work to share your wealth of experience and resources to make us an even better organization. Committee members with expertise in strategic planning, finance, and organizational leadership meet regularly to provide input in several areas.
Steps to becoming an ICS volunteer:
Please note: A background check is required for some volunteer positions.
ICS policy prevents us from accepting court ordered community service.

Our training program is designed to help our new volunteers feel confident and comfortable in their new role.
At our training sessions, new volunteers learn the history and background of Interfaith Community Services and the many programs and volunteer opportunities available. Volunteers have the chance to select the volunteer position that is most meaningful to them.
If you sign up for an orientation, we ask that you provide your Social Security number and bring your drivers license so we may run a criminal background check and Motor Vehicle Report. We also ask that you provide us with the names and telephone numbers of at least two people (other than relatives) who can serve as personal references. ICS takes these steps to help keep both recipients and volunteers safe.
