You're Bringing Joy!
4 Ways You Can Volunteer:
-Be a Companion
Spend one-on-one time with one of the guests. Take charge of pushing their wheelchair throughout the day, and assisting them at lunchtime.
-Be a Driver
Drivers must have excellent driving records and a valid license. It is not required that you have a CDL or even a chauffeur license. The driver is the team leader of the outing. You will be in charge of boarding, transporting, and de-boarding the bus. Securing the wheelchairs is of utmost importance and the safety of our guests and volunteer crew is imperative.
-Be a Carriage Keeper
Volunteer to maintain service records. Keep the bus clean and ready for outings. Do minimal service like oil changes, and recommend service and repair that requires professional service.
-Be a Prayer Partner
It is our conviction that in the long run a ministry cannot be a Kingdom work, where God is experienced and glorified, without prayer as the evident and controlling force. Consequently, we diligently seek intercessors who will commit themselves to pray regularly for the ministry. We agree to send such committed partners a prayer update letter quarterly, suggesting reasons for thanksgiving, for petitions, for perceived needs.
