You will provide pleasant first and last impressions to all who come to the clinic and be a safety net by screening for health concerns. 

Could you assist Linn County neighbors in finding the resources they need?

The Ecumenical Community Center Foundation (ECCF) and its Helping Hands Ministry (HHM) are seeking volunteer receptionists.  Could you commit to a few weekday hours each week or every other week, perhaps either 10 to 1 or 1 to 4 ? 

ECCF's Helping Hands Ministry (HHM) needs help answering phones filing recently used client files.  People call to request help with rent, utilities, auto gas, and ID replacement.   We also assist with budgeting and guide people to many appropriate community resources.  

Could you assist people with their lifelong learning goals in a small computer lab?

Currently, CompuPlace clients with disabilities attend by appointment Tuesdays through Thursdays between 10 AM and 4 PM.  Most clients have cognitive, intellectual, communication, or developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum, Down syndrome, or traumatic brain injury. Some have dexterity-related disabilities that make it harder to use a computer.

The CompuPlace lab is currently unused on Mondays and Fridays. In order not to waste this resource, and in the spirit of inclusion, we seek to expand our services beyond people with disabilities to people who have been left behind in the age of information, technology, and the internet. In addition to people with disabilities, people with low incomes, seniors, and rural adults are too often on the wrong side of a gaping digital divide. We seek a reliable team of volunteers to staff the lab for drop-in availability to Linn County residents with learning goals.  Can you help?

At CompuPlace, we start wherever the student is. It is a place where abilities are identified and harnessed, where it is safe to guess, where learning is supported, effort is applauded, and success celebrated with gusto. This method is equally appropriate for learners with and without disabilities. 

CompuPlace clients are often working on communication, spelling and reading, math and money, problem solving, professional behavior, and general computer skills.  Some clients attend alone, some with group home house mates, and some in small and large groups.  Many clients play games or surf the web in order to learn the skills they need to improve their lives. 

The CompuPlace way encourages people to direct their own lifelong learning. There is dignity in learning, and there is empowerment in self-directed continuing education. There is so much to know, so much to “Ask Google,” and so much yet to discover, both collectively and individually.

If there are specific questions you have, please ask.  If this sounds like a good fit for you, please let us know.  If you are interested, please schedule a tour.

Key responsibilities include:
- Meet with our Volunteer Coordinator to learn about Willis Dady’s ongoing needs.
- Commit to purchasing a high-need item to donate to Willis Dady on a regular basis. (Example items: paper towels, toilet paper, pillows, 13-gallon trash bags, 55-gallon trash bags, cases of water, laundry pods, razors)
- Purchase or have the donation shipped to Willis Dady.

This is a very flexible commitment! All we ask is to know how often you’ll be delivering the item you sign up for. It could be weekly, biweekly, or monthly. (Any other length of time will be considered a valuable donation but not recorded as a shopping volunteer.)

This is the perfect way for someone to get involved who doesn’t have any extra time to give. Add toilet paper to your list and pick it up when you’re out shopping. You can drop it off to Willis Dady when you’re already out and about. Do your shopping online instead? Have it shipped to the shelter!

Why toilet paper?
Just like any home, our shelter goes through a lot of toilet paper. However, not many donors think of bringing in toilet paper, so we find ourselves having to buy it ourselves. This takes away money that could be used for things like housing deposits or replacing a lost ID. We need donors like you to help with this high-need item!

Why trash bags?
Just like any home, our shelter goes through a lot of trash bags. The 10 gallon trash cans are found around our shelter and in individual offices. 55 gallon trash cans are in our client kitchens. However, not many donors think of bringing in trash bags, so we find ourselves having to buy them ourselves. This takes away money that could be used for things like housing deposits or replacing a lost ID. We need donors like you to help with this high-need item!
