Volunteer

You made it here! This means that you want to be a part of something very special and make a difference in your community.

We at Matthews HELP Center are working together to help our neighbors in need. We are, as our logo expresses, “A House with a Heart.”

There are many wonderful opportunities here for individuals and groups to share their talents and time. Our volunteers’ kind spirits and generosity are what allow us to serve those suffering in a crisis situation. Please consider joining our mission. In return for a few hours each week volunteers receive a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

 

Our weekly volunteer opportunities are four-hour shifts:

Monday - Saturday

9:00 am -1:00 pm
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

What our volunteers have to say

“It has become one of my favorite places to be. My colleagues are a joy to work with.  We take care of each other and, as a bonus, we make each other laugh! I'm doing work that is not only a gift to the community I have come to love but it is always cheerful work and lifts my spirits.”

- Connie R. Housewares

“I have been working with the Matthews HELP Center for over two years. I most enjoy sorting and organizing to make sure that we only stock our shelves with the best quality items.”

- Brendan C.
