    Family Promise VOLUNTEER FORM (can submit online)

Submit

2023 Host Weeks
for
Family Promise
at FUMC  JC


​TBA


Can You Help? - Serve as the Hands and Heart of Christ!

Because of COVID - instead of housing families as guests in the church, as in the past, we will provide financial support and meals using hotels 

Did you know this is the 22nd year of IHN/Family Promise in Johnson City? First Church JC has been a core group participant for the entire 22 years. 





S P E C I A L   N O T E  

Family Promise has desperate needs for key volunteers:

(in terms of the main JC office/general program center)
(Volunteers also needed for the 1st Church Hosting Week)
 

1.      Historian for Family Promise:
For those who like to do scrap-booking perhaps? We have started to keep track of the history of IHN/Family Promise but need help for the last several years. This could also include re-doing some of our display boards for those who like to do this artistic work.
2.      Office Workers: (very much needed!)
We are in need of someone interested in doing office work one day per week. We could use you all day but you can determine hours. Responsibilities include:
                +  answering phone
                +  receipting money
                +  some data entry
                +  copying and collating
                +  other miscellaneous office jobs
3.     Movers/Warehouse Coordinator:
On call to help move furniture when families move into housing. This is an exciting thing to do because you get to see the end result! Requirements: Strong back and muscular strength.
The warehouse coordinator does not require muscles. It is a monthly volunteer job of keeping inventory, scheduling pick-ups of furniture, and picking out the items requested by families. The movers will do the rest.
4.     Van drivers during the day: 
To take family members to appointments and pick up children from school and day care in the afternoon.      Hours needed:  Between 8:00 a.m – 5:00 p.m.

As some may know, it can be a struggle to fill in all of the volunteer positions.  But, not having a home and coping with trying to raise a family without one is even more of a struggle. So we can help!!

Please sign up early and consider trying to find a new volunteer to serve with you!  It would be wonderful to have a larger pool of volunteers to be ready when needed.
