One-Time Volunteer Opportunity

Welcome Volunteers!

If you are searching for a one-time opportunity to volunteer in the community, there is an upcoming event that may interest you. The Fourth Annual Project Homeless Connect (PHC) event is scheduled for Thursday, November 4, 2010 from 9:00 am - 3:30 pm at the Hargraves Center in Chapel Hill.

This event is a one-day, one-stop opportunity for people living in Orange County who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to receive a number of various services free of cost. Some services include: medical, dental, housing information, social service benefits, legal services, mental health care and many other services. Services are held in close proximity to make it easier to get care and information.

Many volunteers are needed to help with set up, running the event and clean up. If you are interested in getting more information about this event and/or volunteer opportunities, please visit the website at www.phc-orange.org

Thank you for your support of the IFC and for your continued volunteer commitments that make our everyday lives of service more productive and rewarding.

Summer Volunteers Needed

It's hard to believe that May is half over. The IFC has been holding steady with volunteers. We are so appreciative of all the help we get on a daily basis throughout the agency. As the summer approaches, we will see a slight decline in student volunteers.

There will be openings in some positions. If any volunteers would like to pick up extra hours or if there are new volunteers that are interested in summer work, please feel free to call me at 929.6380 x. 30.

Thank you for your continued dedication and support of the IFC. You are a valued part of the agency. Please email me at volunteer@ifcmailbox.org for information on current openings.
