Volunteering

With the help of dedicated volunteers, Albany Helping Hands encourages learning and hands-on support for the individuals staying in the shelter.

Albany Helping Hands welcomes those in the community willing to share their skills, knowledge, caring, time, and love in lending assistance to giving those less fortunate a way to get a hand up in life.  We are a faith-based organization founded on Christian values in love for our brothers and sisters and value in every human soul.  Volunteering is an important part in being able to provide our guests with their needs and in fulfilling our mission.

What We Need:

Commitment: Volunteers who are willing to commit to a schedule, whether it be two days a month, two days a week, or just one day a week.

Skills: Volunteers who can bring skills to the table in sales, bookkeeping, training/teaching resume writing, office etiquette, job retention, nutrition, GED Review, and job readiness. We also have a need for mentoring, kitchen training, the teaching of farming or mechanics, information technology,  writing, program development, and organizing. If you have a skill we will find a fit best for you.

Board Member: If you are a business person, educator, pastor, etc., and bring love for your fellow man and a willingness to commit your support and resources to assist Albany Helping Hands in the community, then consider applying for membership.

Please contact us or come in to talk about how you can help, by either helping someone directly or by helping Albany Helping Hands remain viable now and in the future.
