Needs From: The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center

Join us as a Front Desk Volunteer at SECU Family House in Chapel Hill.  We are seeking individuals with moderate computer skills and excellent phone etiquette to serve as the welcome face of our house.  Candidates must commit to at least six months of once-a-week volunteering (a 2-3 hours shift), either on weekday evenings from 6-8pm or on weekends.  Don't worry if you are new to this role, training will be provided to make sure you feel comfortable.  Join the front desk team; the most popular volunteer opportunity in the house:).  Great swag, snacks and friendships included!!

The volunteer guest greeter will assist with checking in new guests by welcoming guests with a smile, giving them a short tour of the house, answering any questions and providing them with items for any needs they may have.  

As you may know, Family House serves as a comforting haven for patients and their families who are facing medical challenges away from  home.  the Daily operations of Family House involve numerous tasks, and folding linens is on of them.  By dedicating an hour or two of your time you can directly contribute to creating a warm and welcoming environment for those staying with us. 

No prior experience is necessary as members of our volunteer team will guide you through the process.  All you need is a willingness to make a small difference. 

Get a group of friends together to assemble Grab and Go Bags for our guests living at Family House.  You can customize the bags with fun messages and include your favorite non-perishable snacks, beverages and/or game books.  All of these items ease the burden of a patient or family member spending hours at UNC hospitals and can save them money since food items can be expensive at the hospital.  

You can drop these items off at Family House at any time of the day.  Our team will distribute them to guests and make sure our guests are well taken care of.

Every little gesture counts and your contribution can bring comfort nd solace to those who need it the most! Thank you!

Our kitchen volunteers wipe down countertops, tables, organize supplies, put out snacks, and keep our kitchens neat and tidy for the guests that come to our facility. Shifts can vary according to the volunteer's schedule.

Our pantry volunteers take our food donations and organize them by expiration date in our pantry. They keep the pantry neat and organized so that our guests can find everything they need. Our pantry volunteers also put out 'grab and go" snacks for our guests so they can enjoy a treat as they return from the hospital.
