Individual Opportunities
We ask volunteers to consider weekly 4-hour shifts for the positions listed below. All IFC volunteers are trained for their roles and are
provided a Volunteer Procedures Manual.
Client Interviewers: Interviewers are needed for walk-in clients and clients who make appointments. Client interviewers assess client financial requests and determine clients' immediate needs and future goals.
Client interviewers will also provide food, clothing, bus passes and/or health care items-and, where
appropriate, will refer individuals to other IFC programs and community agencies. Please
email Kristin Lavergne or call her at (919) 929-6380, ext. 41.
Greeters/Receptionist: In all three of our facilities, volunteer receptionists answer and manage the
telephones and reception area, welcome visitors and clients and provide information as needed.
Receptionists begin the client intake process and receive and record donations. At the Carrboro Services
Building, two Crisis Intervention receptionists are needed during each shift, with one handling
appointments and the other handling walk-in clients. If you would like to be a Greeter/Receptionist at
the Carrboro Services Building, please
email Kristin Lavergne or call her at (919) 929-6380, ext. 41.
If you would like to volunteer as a Receptionist/Greeter at Community House or HomeStart for homeless
individuals, Please email Laurie Tucker or call her
at (919) 932-6025.
Substitute Client Interviewers and Greeters: Substitute volunteer positions are ideal for those
individuals who cannot make a regular commitment. Substitute volunteers-whose responsibilities are the
same as described above-are on call for other volunteers who cannot do their shift because of illness,
accidents, school breaks, summer vacations, meetings or travel. Having an adequate supply of substitute
volunteers help IFC services to continue smoothly for those in need. If you would like to be a Substitute
Client Interviewer or Substitute Greeter/Receptionist at the Carrboro Services Building, please
email Kristin Lavergne or call her at (919) 929-6380, ext. 41.
If you would like to volunteer as a Substitute Receptionist/Greeter at Community House or HomeStart for
homeless individuals, Please email Laurie Tucker or call her
at (919) 932-6025.
Day/Evening Volunteers: Volunteers are needed at HomeStart and Community House facilities to assist
staff with resident operations and help with guest needs. Some of the duties include new intakes, greeting
visitors, receiving and recording donations, housekeeping, client orientation and assistance with homework
assignments. Please email Laurie Tucker or call her
at (919) 932-6025.
Food Drivers: Volunteers help IFC staff with regular weekly commitments of food donations from
grocery stores and other establishments. Substitute drivers are also needed to pick-up unexpected food
contributions for the Food Pantry and Community Kitchen. If you would like to be a food driver for our
food pantry at the Carrboro Services Building, please
email Kristin Lavergne or call her at (919) 929-6380, ext. 41.
If you would like to be a food driver for our Community Kitchen at Community House, please email
Paul Eberhart or call (919) 967-0643.
