 Families Moving ForwardVolunteer Opportunities Sunday, May 16 - 23 Once again, Incarnation has the privilege of hosting four families in conjunction with Families Moving Forward. The families will arrive on Sunday, May 16 and leave on May 23. This is a great opportunity for the people of Incarnation to be a gift to these families. There are several ways that you can take part in providing a warm and loving environment for Incarnation’s guests. Look through the list below and then sign up for an opportunity that provides you the opportunity to be a gift to Incarnation’s guests. To protect the safety of our guests and volunteers, all adults who are in contact with minors require a background check. If you’re not sure whether Incarnation has a background check on file for you, call 651-484-7213 to check. Sign Up Online for Families Moving Forward Volunteer Opportunities at Incarnation The following opportunities are available. Evening Host (5:00 – 9:00 p.m.) The main purpose of the Evening Host is to provide leadership for the evening activities. A Host Coordinator from the leadership team will be present to assist you as you provide on-site coordination for the events of your particular evening. Dinner Host (4:30 – 7:00 p.m.) The dinner host is the volunteer responsible for providing the families with the evening meal. Please plan on donating this meal. We encourage small groups to participate to help ease the costs. The Food Coordinator will provide you with the number of guests staying at Incarnation during the week and with menu planning so that items are not duplicated during the week. Activity Host (6:45 – 9:00 p.m.) The activity hosts are responsible for providing the families with after dinner activities. On most nights the activities will be for everyone who is willing to participate and may need to vary based on age of participants. Activities generally run from 7:00-8:30 p.m. Overnight Host (8:15 p.m. – 6:30 a.m.) The overnight host’s primary responsibility is to secure the building for the overnight hours and be available for guests as needed during that time. There will be two overnight hosts—one male and one female—because of liability issues, we ask that married couples do not serve on the same evening. Saturday Breakfast Host (May 22, 7:30 – 9:00 a.m.) The Breakfast Hosts are responsible for providing the families with a hot meal on Saturday morning. The Food Coordinator can provide you with the information regarding the number of guests staying at Incarnation, their ages and food needs. Laundry Volunteers Laundry volunteers provide laundry service as needed for our guests, including sheets and towels that need to be washed during the week. Bake Cookies or Provide Snacks These kids are hungry after playing and love to have a bed-time snack. These snacks are also be added to the lunches the parents prepare for the next day. Bring 2 dozen cookies, bars, or 2-3 bags of healthy snacks. Set Up Crew (Sunday, May 16) The set Up Crew converts the classrooms into living quarters for our guests during their week with us. Set up begins after Sunday School at 11:45 and continues until the rooms are set up and ready for guests who arrive at 4:30 p.m. Take Down Crew (Sunday, May 23) The set Up Crew converts the living quarters into classrooms in time for Sunday School. Pick up Beds (By May 16) This person picks up the beds either from the Families Moving Forward site in N. Minneapolis or from the previous church that has used them. There are several beds, so a van or a pick-up truck is necessary. Return Beds (After May 23) This person returns the beds either to the Families Moving Forward site in N. Minneapolis. If the beds are going to be used by another church the following week, they may pick them up or Incarnation may be asked to deliver them. For questions about these opportunities, contact Sharon Lorenz by calling 651-484-7213. |
