We simply could not run CAM without our volunteers! There are many opportunities to volunteer including a beautiful resale shop, a very busy donation area, a food pantry, and an assistance office. Whatever your talent, whatever your time frame, CAM would be very grateful to have you!

The Cellar –
Volunteers are always needed to help process community donations in The Cellar. CAM receives hundreds of items a day in our busy intake area. Volunteers are needed to sort, clean, hang and tag in this busy environment and have a great time doing it!

Food Pantry  –
You can help fulfill a family’s most basic need by volunteering in the food pantry. The food pantry needs help stocking shelves, packing groceries and picking up donations of bread and other food from grocery stores and restaurants.

The Special Delivery program, serving seniors and the disabled, rely on volunteer drivers to deliver groceries and check in with clients once a month. This is a great way to make a difference by visiting with clients face to face and ensure that they are doing well.

Assistance Office  –
Volunteers are needed to provide office support in the main office and the Operation Jobs office. Opportunities include making follow up calls for Operation Jobs, contacting local merchants about job openings and taking care of miscellaneous promotional activities when needed. Especially needed are bilingual volunteers who are willing to receive training to be assistance counselors.

Angel’s Attic Resale Shop –
The resale shop is always in need of volunteers willing to help merchandise and straighten the store, hang clothes, assist customers, work at the front counter and cashier. If you enjoy working with the public, have good decorating skills, or enjoy merchandising with wonderful and unique items then this is a great way to share your talent or interest!

Home Repairs –
This is a new service for senior citizens, which depends completely on adult community volunteers with the appropriate expertise. The CAM staff has a list of seniors who need various projects done around their home. Activities include painting, cleaning, and basic carpentry. Older youth are welcome to participate but must have adequate adult supervision by those who are trained in home repairs.

If you would like more information about sharing your time and your gift of service with your community at Cypress Assistance Ministries, please contact Lisa Bassett at 281-955-7684 or at     cam-lisa@sbcglobal.net. We would love to talk to you!
