Volunteer Opportunities

Befriend an Adult Resident of the Triangle Area

The Triangle Community Ministry is in need of volunteers who are interested in befriending adult residents of the Triangle Area. Many of our residents who are challenged by poverty and physical or mental disabilities are isolated and in need of a support system. If you are a good listener and willing to provide occasional "hands on" support to members of this community, please give us a call. Give time whenever you are able and feel the rewards of a new and interesting relationship.

Training on resident issues incl. mental illness, disability, listening skills and conflict resolution is provided. We ask for an application, references and complete a background check.

If groups are able they can also provide the refreshments.

Volunteers who would like to have recurrent engagement might be asked to complete an application to provide contact information and scheduling preferences. No formal training is required, but having experience and feeling at ease with the elderly and those who are physically or mentally challenged is a plus.

Provide Entertainment for adult residents of the Triangle Area

The Triangle Community Ministry sponsors a regular entertainment programs for adult residents of the Triangle. The programs are held at the Brittingham Apartments.

The residents are adults who may be elderly or have physical or mental challenges and low income. They are often unable to take advantage of entertainment opportunities outside the Triangle due to financial and/or physical barriers. They really look forward to these opportunities. If you (or your group) have some musical talent to share and would like to donate an afternoon or evening of your time, you would be rewarded with many smiles and thank yous.
