You can find SWIC out and about at the following public events: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 : Day of Wellness Schuylkill Mall, Frackville This is an all day event, so if any volunteers – direct or indirect service – are interested in helping us with coverage at the table, please let us know! You can volunteer for as little as an hour of your time. Contact Iris at 570.622.3991 or swicmedadv@comcast.net. Volunteer Opportunity – Thursday, April 1, 4:30 p.m. Environmentally-Aware Egg Hunt and party for children residing in SWIC’s shelter and transitional housing units. Direct service volunteers can help with activities during this event, and any volunteers can help by providing funds, refreshments, small gifts, decorations, or plastic eggs ahead of time. If interested in helping, contact Iris at 570.622.3991 or swicmedadv@comcast.net. SWIC was founded in 1983 by all volunteers and has relied heavily on volunteers ever since. If you have ever considered working with SWIC to help victims of domestic violence and your community, read on. Volunteers help SWIC in two capacities – as direct service and as indirect service. Direct service volunteers work directly with our clients and must complete the state-mandated 45-hour training. Examples of direct service volunteering include answering hotline, assisting victims in SWIC’s courthouse office, providing shelter coverage, helping at activities and programs for shelter and transitional housing residents, etc. Direct service volunteers can also help in an indirect capacity as well. Indirect service volunteers do not need to complete the training and can volunteer in ways that do not involve direct contact with clients, such as at fundraisers, tables in malls and other public events, stuffing envelopes and other clerical assistance, etc. Anyone can assist SWIC by organizing drives for nonperishable food, clothing, shelter supplies, or other items, or by arranging for SWIC to speak to groups or organizations where they participate. If you are interested in helping victims of domestic violence and SWIC, contact Darla or Iris at 570.622.3991. More information can be found on our website, www.s-wic.org |
