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 meet with
clients to gather information about the client and their
request. If the client is eligible, the interviewer will
fulfill the request and provide food, clothing and /or bus
passes. Where appropriate, they also will refer individuals
to other IFC programs and community agencies.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Community Kitchen Meal Monitor: Serve as
liaison for volunteers and guests during meal. Remind guests
of building policies and procedures as needed. Contact staff
in case of an emergency. Report any problems. Be available
to answer questions. Work with volunteers and staff to ensure
the kitchen and dining areas are appropriately cleaned.
Once a week, from 11:00am-12:30pm or 6:00-7:00pm.
