Open Arms was founded as a volunteer-driven organization and we continue to rely on the dedication of our volunteers for every aspect of our operations. Our volunteers have fun while they make a profound difference in the lives of our clients.  Join us in one of the following volunteer opportunities, designed to fit any schedule!


Meal Delivery

Volunteers deliver meals Monday through Friday, between 11am - 1pm. A typical route consists of 3 - 6 stops, and takes about an hour. We are always looking for volunteers to adopt a weekly route or to help on an on-call basis.
I’d like to deliver a meal!



Kitchen

Are chopping veggies and making sandwiches more your style? Volunteers assist with meal preparation and packaging. Shifts are two hours between 9am and 10pm weekdays, as well as from 10am to 5pm on weekends.
I’d like to help in the kitchen!


Office

If phones or computers are your forte, we'd love to meet you. The two hour volunteer opportunities in the office include receptionist duties and administrative support. Open Arms is also looking for volunteers interested in helping write or edit Open Arms publications.
I’d like to help in the office!


Special Events


We always have something fun up our sleeve! Open Arms organizes and participates in many different events and fundraisers throughout the year. Shifts range from two hours or longer, depending on your interest! 
I’d like to help on events!
