Do you feel called to volunteerism but have limited time available to help? Are you reluctant to offer your service because everything seems to require more time than you have to spare?
Well, good news! Below is a list of volunteer opportunities that you can participate in "every once in a while." Many of them happen only once a year. Some happen more often, but you can choose to participate at a higher or lower level depending on the time you have available.
We invite you to look through the list. If something sounds like a good fit for you please contact the person listed. Ask questions. Tell the contact person how much time you have. We'll find you a spot that suits your skills and your schedule.
