Make a difference. Become a volunteer.
We have two volunteering openings at the moment:
Volunteer to organize donated clothing and give clothing to people in our shelter:
We receive many generous donations of clothing and items. Donated clothing is dropped off in big bags. Volunteers sort the donated clothing and hang it up. Must be able to lift up to 40 pounds, carry 20 pounds up and down stairs, and work independently in our basement. Organizer volunteers make their own schedule any day of the week anytime between 8 am and 6 pm.
Cook a meal and drop it off:
We are looking for volunteers to cook meals for 40 people at home then drop off the meals at our shelter. A meal for 40 people is two of the big turkey sized disposable aluminum pans.
To volunteer, please fill out our volunteer application at the bottom of this page then talk to Gretchen Fennelly, Volunteer Coordinator to schedule a quick 20-minute tour. Call (207) 947-0092 or e-mail gretchenf@bangorareashelter.org to schedule a tour.
