Van Buren Center Volunteering 1/2023

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Masks are required for all volunteers regardless of vaccination status. Dinner for the women begins at 5 pm. The kitchen is near the main entrance denoted with a blue mark on the map above. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The approved areas to park are in yellow in the photo above. Please do not park in the areas outlined in red as your vehicle may get towed. The shelter needs a list of volunteer names the day before the event. If your first and last name are not in your username, you can provide them by sending Andrew a message on this site, emailing, or texting him (see below). Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
