The SVDP Warehouse
Retired and looking for something worthwhile to do? Gilbert could sure use your help loading food and other items for conferences as they come each day. This is quite an operation with only a two-man team.

There will be other opportunities to volunteer at the Central Council Complex in the near future. Keep your eye on this page!

The Central Council Office

Like the way you feel when you have assisted someone in need?  We would like to have as much help as we can get with our telephone lines.  The help line is very busy during the day and we would like to have plenty of volunteers taking those calls to assist the clients on the other end.  If you are experienced in a general office setting, multi-line telephone system, and have too much time on your hands... Come and volunteer!                                         

Call Jeannette for volunteer opportunities at (210) 225-7837 ext. 21
