Volunteers Needed!

Athelas uses volunteers in a variety of ways.  Look over the following list and find a way to match your gifts and talents to help meet our needs.   Next,  use the Support page and to tell us what you do best.  We request two references and a training session is scheduled for all volunteers.  We hope you will find someway to express your creativity!

          

Food Service
  • food prep
  • smile
  • clean-up
  • serve
  • portion and package
  • pick up food orders
  • pray
  • run errands
  • make food pretty!

Created with love and care,  food at Athelas  is something more than just filling the tummy.  Hearty meals are  served from campfire or range with an emphasis on beauty and
presentation .  Whether back country, base camp or lodge, meals  are meant for fellowship.  Each is a metaphor of the feast to come...the Wedding Feast of the Lamb!  Volunteer to create and serve feasts.


       


Clerical
  • file registrations
  • respond to e-mails
  • update website
  • organize files
  • pray
  • log equipment use
  • create needed forms
  • file legal reports
  • smile
Do you like computer work and organizing  people?  Volunteering for some of the duties above would help Athelas in those endeavors.   Keeping order in an often disordered world becomes a metaphor for discovering the amazing order of God's creation!  Volunteer to discover  order.


Music
"Music is the language of God," someone once said.  Do you sing, play an instrument or write lyrics? Do you desire to use this gift to aid others in worship and devotion?  Volunteer to speak God's language!

 

Maintenance
  • clean gear
  • pray
  • store gear
  • fix broken things
  • organize gear
  • smile
  • mow lawns
  • set up base camp
  • maintain equipment
Gear used must be clean and in good working condition.  Are you good at keeping things working?  Are you good at fixing things?  At Athelas we can use you to  maintain gear, equipment, and grounds.  There is never a lack of things to take care of.  Daily care of tools we use is a metaphor of the business Jesus is in...fixing broken things and making them new!  That's us!  Volunteer to keep things new.
