Volunteer Opportunities

Learn about the many opportunities to bless international students in Columbus through International Friendships. Sign up for a training session this summer: Saturday, June 1, 1:30-3:30 pm at Capital University; Sunday, July 14, 2:00-4:00 pm or Wednesday, July 17, 6:30-8:30 pm at Vineyard Church. For more info, go to www.ifipartners.org/training.

Bring in healthy, non-perishable food items for the Hilliard Free Summer Lunch program to the hallway rack at Mill Run. We distribute these items when there are more children at lunch than we had planned on. We don’t want to send any child away hungry. Download the Food Donation List here.

You and your friends can designate your Giant Eagle points to go to the Hilltop Preschool when you use your loyalty card. It takes less than 60 seconds: call Giant Eagle Apples for Students, 1-800-474-4777; enter your 12-digit Giant Eagle card number; then enter the Hilltop Preschool code, 5541.

 

We need adult volunteers to make VBS an awesome experience on the Hill, June 24-28, 1:00-4:00 pm. The team is forming now. Contact Kelly Mikhail, kmikhail@ualc.org to join the fun.

 

Hilliard Free Summer Lunch is Hiring

VBS is coming in June, with over 1,000 kids! Volunteers make it great and there are many ways to help. We especially need a Store Manager and a Teacher Coordinator. Interested? Click here for information and registration or pick up a volunteer form in the lobbies. Contact Kim Good, kgood@ualc.org or Andrea Taphorn, ataphorn@ualc.org, or call 451-3736.

 

We are looking for a certified CPR/AED/First Aid instructor to train staff and volunteers. We would like to hold the training in May. Contact Wanda Hairston, 451-3736, ext. 7021 or whairston@ualc.org.

 

Several of our faithful older members are no longer able to drive, but would love to be in church on Sunday morning. Would you be willing to pick someone up one or two Sundays a month and bring them church? Call Joanne Foster, 451-3736, ext. 7015, if you would consider helping.

 

Bring gently used clothes, shoes and linens (only) to the Clothes Shop bins at MR and LR. Our storage space is limited, so hold on to fall or winter clothes until August.

In the late summer, over 1,500 new international students will arrive in Columbus to empty apartments. International Friendships Inc. encourages your group to gather furniture from neighbors and friends and put together a garage sale just for international students in need. It’s a great way to meet a bunch of students and share the love of Christ. Sally Sulc, msulc@columbus.rr.com, has all the details.

 

Help serve families that come to the Food Pantry at Frebis and Champion. Individuals, families or small groups are all welcome; training is given when you arrive. For specific dates or to sign up, contact Joanne Mead, phantomprod@att.net. Volunteers are always needed for the Sullivant pantry, every Monday through Friday.
