HRDC Launches New Volunteer Recruitment and Placement Opportunity
Last year 119,649 volunteer hours were provided to a multitude of HRDC service areas. That is the equivalent of 58 full time employees. HRDC has benefited from a long history of volunteerism and could not meet the growing needs in our community without volunteers. New volunteer software has been added to HRDC’s web site to assist people willing to share their time and talents to places such as the Gallatin Valley Food Bank, Warming Center, HRDC office, Youth Development Department and much more. Community members are encouraged to go online to www.thehrdc.org to learn more and sign up.
“So many of our programs are experiencing a growing demand for services but are not able to hire additional staff,” says Deb Casagranda, HRDC Volunteer Coordinator. “When I can connect them with an amazing community volunteer to help ensure they have the resources needed to serve our customers it is a win for everyone involved.”
Community members interested in volunteering should visit the HRDC web site – thehrdc.org to learn more and sign up. Current and new volunteers needs will be posted along with a volunteer applications, training requirements and HRDC updates. “Volunteers can now easily “shop” for a volunteer job that best fits their interests, skills and schedule,” says Casagranda. “We are grateful for our volunteers and looking forward to connecting others with meaningful and impactful volunteer opportunities.”
HRDC is a non profit community action agency dedicated to Building a Better Community.
