Non Medical Volunteers Needs

We see anywhere from 20 to 35 families in a 3-hour shift in the Distribution Ministries. All clients have food, clothing, household items and Children's Birthday Closet available to them. Davie County clients are seen first and then out-of-county clients. Out-of-county clients are given information on organizations in their own counties to go for assistance.

Clients are interviewed each time they come for help. Clients are encouraged to come no more than once a month. If a client is in a truly critical situation, they may come more often, if necessary. There are limits on how many items of clothing a client may receive in a month, and dishes and linens in a three-year period. During the interview, clients are encouraged, the Gospel is shared as the Lord opens the door, seeds are planted, and a prayer is offered.

With the Gods help this ministry is supported day to day with our volunteers in many different areas. Our annual audit report, each year, states that 97-98% of all incoming donations goes directly to client and patient services. It is so high because we do not have any paid staff – we are all volunteers. Listed are a few of the areas that you can volunteer in. If you are interested feel free to contact us for more information. Click on the following button to download the Volunteer application form.

As food comes in from various store locations, we have to inspect and sort before moving them out into the shopping area. Loading coolers and shelves with food from grocery stores. Stocking food shelves.

Drivers

We have many different food partners like Food Lion and Publix who donate food. Truck drivers are needed to go to the different stores and pickup food.

Interviewers

Spending time with our clients to understand their needs. Important part of this is to share Christ and pray with them. To be an interviewer a person would need to share our mission statement as their belief. “A Storehouse For Jesus is an independent, non-profit Christian ministry helping those in need and reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ”. Interviewers fill out paperwork for what the clients’ need, shares the plan of salvation, and prays with clients individually. It is not a requirement to believe in Christ or be prayed for to receive help.
