a Volunteer Based Organization
The VFC is run by an all volunteer Board of Directors and is dependent on volunteer veterans and veteran supporters for all aspects of our operation. We play a unique and critical role in a coordinated effort to move homeless veterans off of the street and return them to society. We receive nothing in return other than the satisfaction of knowing we have made a difference in the lives of those who have served our country and then fallen into the trap of homelessness.
We have volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups, on a one time basis, or, like many of our volunteers, on a repeated basis.
Here is a description of some of the volunteer opportunities.

Deliveries
There is no better way to learn about the VFC and the work we do than to join us for deliveries and meet our needy veterans. Each Friday morning a group of volunteers gathers at the warehouse, loads the trucks, and delivers furniture and household goods to needy veterans. No heavy lifting is required unless you want to do that. We always need drivers for chase cars to follow the trucks. as well as people to carry small, light weight items. Everyone who has done this tells us what a great, heart warming experience it is, and many comeback to do it again and again. Deliveries are usually completed by noon, so it doesn't even take much of your day. This is also a great volunteer opportunity for a group.
Office Work
Our office is run by volunteers. We need help answering the phone, processing donation and furniture request forms, calling donors and recipients to schedule pickups and deliveries, and other general office tasks. Basic computer skills are required, but we supply instructions and it is not difficult. Ideally our office volunteers are willing to contribute 3-4 hours a week, and once trained, some of the work can be done from home.
assembly Parties
Sometimes we purchase a quantity of furniture items that need to be assembled. Assembly is usually not difficult, but when there are a large number of units, it takes a group effort. When this happens we call on our volunteers to join us at the warehouse for an assembly party. It can be fun, and you will be contributing to our needy veterans. This is a chance to have a good time and make a difference at the same time.
These events don't happen often, so sign up in advance and we will notify you when one comes up. If you can make it that day, your help will be appreciated. If not, well there will be more opportunities in the future. Why not sign up today?

General Warehouse work
There is always work to be done keeping the warehouse clean and organized, and processing incoming new and used furniture and household goods. This is a great job for someone who would like to volunteer for 4-6 hours every week or two. You will join a great group of volunteers who really care about our veterans and are making a difference by the work they do.
