Volunteer Opportunities: Virtual and In-person

While our large group clinic meetings are on hiatus, RILA continues to serve our clients. We invite you to serve with us!

Virtual

RILA needs note takers and interpreters who are available for one hour time-slots during the day on weekdays to attend our client meetings via Zoom. Contact Emily if you’re interested. And if you are new to RILA, please complete our volunteer intake survey so we can get to know you and schedule a time for you to attend our virtual volunteer orientation!

In-Person (With social distancing measures in place!)

We are also looking for individuals to help us provide grocery support for our clients in the following ways:

  • Bagged Groceries for Client Meetings: One long standing RILA tradition that we miss is that of sharing a meal with our clients and volunteers prior to our twice-monthly clinics. In lieu of this meal, we are providing bags of groceries to all clients who come to our office for essential meetings. Bags are dropped off Monday morning, and by Friday, any extra bags are delivered to clients with acute need. Email Mel to sign up! 

  • RILA Groceries for Neighbors: Commit to helping provide groceries for one specific family over the next four weeks. You’ll get to build a relationship with your “neighbor” as you check in to see what they might need, shop for them, and drop off groceries with a friendly smile and wave (from a safe distance of 6 ft. away!). This is a great project for a group of friends as well!  Complete a short survey, and we’ll follow up with more information!

  • Grocery Delivery Drivers: Let Emily now if you can occasionally pick up groceries from Restoration Anglican and deliver them to our clients with limited transportation access.
