VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS AND DONATIONS
There are several opportunities for helping out at the Care Center. From donating items to donating your time, there is something for everyone to do. Donations of food or items for our thrift store are best made during store hours (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.). If this is inconvenient, call Stewart Nelson at 501-208-6391. Monetary donations can also be made by cash, check, or credit card.
Volunteer at the Care Center. The Care Center depends on volunteers to help us fulfill our mission. Work areas include preparing merchandise for sale, stocking merchandise, operating the cash register, distributing food, and many others. The Care Center is also often in need of help with special projects such as carpentry work, cosmetic improvements, and others.
Organize a donation drive. Set up a collection area at your church for items that members no longer use. Nonperishable food, gently-used clothing, dishes, pots and pans, blankets, sheets, or other household goods are needed. Many churches have begun to organize special collection days (e.g., First Sunday Share, Caring Can Sunday, or other special offerings for the Care Center).
Harvest of Hope Food Drive. Participate in our annual food drive during the fall. We are constantly in need of volunteers of all ages to help with our largest donation and volunteer program of the year. From encouraging your church or organization to collect items to volunteering on the day of the event, we need the help of many individuals to make this drive a success each year.
Put together some helpful kits. Select and begin a particular project such as collection of helpful kits like personal hygiene kits (including shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, feminine supplies, etc.) and baby kits (including baby wipes, diapers, formula, and soap). There is always a need for these items.
