ABC House - Albany
Volunteer - Direct Service
In need of a direct service volunteer to spend time with children when they are visiting ABC House for a child abuse assessment. After volunteers pass a background check and participate in some DVD training, they are given a chance to bring smiles to the faces and enjoying the imaginations of children by spending with them, coloring, playing games, dolls, trucks, reading, etc. This relaxes the children and gets them comfortable with the people and the facility before they have a medical examination or interview. The volunteer may also help with light clerical duties such as answering phones, preparing mailings, copying, etc. Great for someone who loves children and may not have any at home. We request a 1 year commitment and the ability to be flexible during M-F, office hours, to fill in when OSU Interns are not on duty. To request more information email: advocacy@abchouse.org.

making a huge impact and committed investment in the lives, welfare and future of thousands of individuals in Sweet Home.
The organization's primary focus and mission addresses hunger in Sweet Home.
Once a month, SHEM distributes an emergency food box containing enough nutritious food for three meals a day for four to five days.

SHEM serves as the Salvation Army Extension Unit for Sweet Home and facilitates programs for financial assistance for utilities and clients facing eviction.
