Last year, over 300 volunteers donated their time and talents to BCM. BCM places great value on the work of volunteers, and is a place where volunteers can utilize their individual gifts to help their neighbors in need. Our vision is community, a united collection of neighbors serving each other as anexpression of love. We look forward to getting to know you and working with you. Volunteer opportunities exist in many areas:

• HelpLine Volunteers assist clients by scheduling client appointments, giving directions, and providing service referrals.

• Intake Volunteers meet with clients who come to BCM for assistance. Under the direction of the staff, these volunteers interview and assist people who come to our door seeking help.

• Money Management Coaches and Trainers work with clients to set a household budget, creat and use bank accounts, and other basic skills for managing money. Trainers teach money management coursed and coaches work one-on-one with families to apply what they learn in the class. All training materials are provided; no financial expertise required!

• Hospitality Volunteers creat a worm and welcoming environment for our clients, many of whom are in desperate need of a smiling face.

• Thrift Store Volunteers work at Buckhead THRIFTique sorting and pricing clothing, arranging displays, running the cash register, and helping shoppers.

• Administrative and Data Entry Volunteers perform administrative tasks at the office - helping answer the phone, filing, entering data into various data banks, and completing correspondence.

• Food Pantry Volunteers organize the pantry, accept donations and pack bags of food. Some also volunteer to pick up groceries from the store once a month.

• Seasonal and Special Events include Joyous Toys, Annual Appreciation Dinner, The Buckhead Golf Classic and more!!

These are just some of the ways you can get involved. If you are interested in learning more about volunteering, call Lacy, Volunteer and In-kind Coordinator, 404.239-0058, or email us now.
