Who Volunteers?
Most of the estimated 300 volunteers that give their time at Helping Hands and the Thrift Store every year come from our community churches, organizations like the Lions Club; various United Way groups, and our local universities and high schools. Groups, as well as individuals, are more than welcome to volunteer their time in a variety of ways.
How Do I Become A Volunteer?
To begin the process of becoming a volunteer at the House, contact us at 864-654-6154. Individuals wishing to volunteer will need to fill out paper work and present a driver license to go through a SLED and Central Registry background check.
Volunteer groups will undergo a brief training session on House policies before meeting and interacting with the children.
To volunteer at the Thrift Store, you may contact Sandra Bush at (864)639-6533.
When Can I Volunteer?
Volunteers at the House may work from 8am until 10am and the 1pm until 5pm, Monday - Friday. Volunteers must contact our business office between the hours of 8am to 5pm, Monday - Friday, to set up times to volunteer on Saturday or Sunday.
