Volunteer

[slideshow_deploy id=’376′]
Roll up your sleeves and give us a hand!

Moravian Open Door could use your help.

Here are some of the ongoing needs that could use volunteers:

  • Painting rooms, hallways, staircases;
  • Providing occasional meals for clients;
  • Tech help—teaching residents computer skills;
  • Helping residents produce a newsletter;
  • Making minor building repairs that need ‘handyman’ skills;
  • Providing programs about life skills (financial literacy, health and wellness, job skills, etc.);
  • Providing programs of games or entertainment; and
  • Organizing files and donated goods

Volunteering provides the unique opportunity to develop skills in the following areas:

  • Human services
  • Maintenance
  • Recreation leadership
  • Life skills instruction

MOD can provide glowing references and letters of recommendation on behalf of our volunteers. But beyond resume-building experience, you’ll make a tangible impact on our residents’ lives.

To volunteer or make a visit to offer help, contact us.

In Their Own Words

Maureen says...

I have struggled with addiction for at least 47 years. I’m 57 now. There is not a bridge that I haven’t burnt with my blood family. I have one friend who has been in my life for almost 20 years and since coming to MOD, I now have a family. I know I am safe and secure living here. Not all days are good for me but the staff always makes time for me and for this I am truly grateful. I thank my support system here and I thank you all for helping me to stay clean and sober and allowing me to be able to feel safe at night.
