Whether preparing care packages, teaching a workshop, helping around the office or unveiling beautiful linens for our fundraisers. Volunteers provide the extra pair of hands, the warm smiles or caring attitude that makes Joyful Treats!
This is a great opportunity for individuals (or families), groups, or organizations. Visit a JARC home once a month on a Sunday afternoon (or four times a year) to play games or bake cookies; or plan activities four times a year (e.g. spring cleanup, BBQ, fall cleanup, or an arts and crafts activity).
Help keep our homes looking beautiful in the spring and fall by weeding front and backyards, planting/pruning glowers and shrubs, mulching, raking leaves in the fall, and more!
Use your professional skills and knowledge on an as-needed basis to provide much-needed skills such as reading and writing in multiple languages, graphic design, accounting, photography, licensed carpentry, interior design, landscaping and more.
Volunteers offer a warm smile as they provide hospitality and push a cart full of snacks, coffee and other beverages throughout our facility. They enjoy interacting with patients and caregivers as they await their appointments and receive treatment.
We are looking for volunteers to serve as board members, write grants, help with accounting, transport to spay/neuter appointments, cat care, socialization, etc.
Foster homes are always needed to take care of the cats and kittens until they can find permanent homes.
The therapeutic use of pets as companions has gained increasing attention in recent years for a wide variety of patients –including people with cancer. Animals can provide a source of comfort and bring out our nurturing instinct. If your dog is specially trained in this area, please contact us.
Our security/greeter volunteers monitor parking areas and greet people as they walk through our doors, offering a warm cup of coffee, a personal ‘hello’ and directions to appropriate areas. They represent the positive, caring atmosphere of the Center.
