VOLUNTEER at the Dignity Center

The mission of The Dignity Center is to welcome and support people dealing with financial and housing insecurity on their path to stability. Through a committed team of trained volunteers, The Dignity Center works one-on-one with people to build relationships, help them set goals toward greater self-sufficiency and stability, and develop and implement a plan to reach those goals.

The Dignity Center is looking for more volunteers. There are a variety of roles that need to be filled, and, hopefully, one of them is right for you. For more information, please contact The Interim Director of The Dignity Center, at marcy@haumc.org

Greeter

The Greeter does exactly that – opens the door and greets our guests. The Greeter explains The Dignity Center to first-time visitors and ensures that guests sign in when they arrive. That first friendly face means a lot to our guests.

Greeters are especially needed on Wednesday and Friday mornings

Hospitality Volunteer

A Hospitality Volunteer makes making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, packs and distributes lunches, keeps the dining room stocked with coffee and other treats, helps guests access our hygiene and household items, and generally spreads cheer.

Hospitality Volunteers are especially needed on Monday mornings

Kitchen Supervisors

The Kitchen Supervisor arrives early to ensure the kitchen is ready for the Hospitality Volunteers. The Kitchen Supervisor works alongside the Hospitality Volunteers, directs their efforts as needed, and ensures that the kitchen and dining room are clean and ready for the next shift. The Kitchen Supervisor also coordinates with other Kitchen Supervisors to ensure that we have all the supplies we need.

Kitchen Supervisors are especially needed on Monday and Wednesday mornings

Advocates

Advocates receive training on available resources and The Dignity Center procedures to equip them to meet one-on-one with guests. The Advocates assist the guests in setting goals to help them gain stability. The Advocates serve as accountability partners in the ongoing process and help guests access resources available at The Dignity Center and in the community.

Advocates are needed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 to 11:30 am.
