Helping another person brings a wonderful feeling of joy and satisfaction. At Catholic Community Services, volunteers help the elderly and individuals with disabilities remain living independently in their own homes. They also serve food to the hungry, support shelter for our unhoused neighbors, tutor youth struggling in school, and do much, much more!
CCS/CHS volunteers come from all segments of the population, young or older, working or retired, in school at all levels, or groups of friends or coworkers. All bring a gift of caring and time. “Being a volunteer is truly one of the greatest gifts of my life,” says Al Jackson, of Volunteer Services.
CCS offers a variety of opportunities to help others, arranged to accommodate volunteers’ schedules. Call today!
NOTE: Volunteer opportunities are listed by priority at the top, and then ascending in ABC order
