Volunteer: Provide Meals for Our Children and Families

Our Houseparents work hard day and night to make sure our kids receive the very best care. Cooking for a large group 3 times a day can get very tiresome. Making a meal, dessert, or giving them a gift card to a restaurant allows them to focus less on cooking and more on their relationships with the kids.

You can prepare a meal in our newly renovated kitchen using your own ingredients. Alternatively, you can bring a fully prepared meal for the children and their families to enjoy.

Meal Delivery Options:

Deliver meals directly to our cottages so the children and families can eat together in their homes.Invite the children and their families to join your volunteer group for dinner in our shared dining area.

Timing:

Volunteers can arrive as early as 4:00 PM to prepare or set up, with dinner served at 5:30 or 6:00 PM.
While we can accommodate meals any night of the week, Thursdays or Fridays typically work best for our schedule.

Volunteer: Food Pantry Assistance (Weekday Afternoons 2-4PM ONLY)

The Emergency Food Pantry at Catholic Charities serves a wide variety of community members, and with that variety comes the need for volunteers to help us maintain it.

Our food pantry is in need of assistance in the afternoons between 2 and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.  

Many of the items donated to us are from churches and local stores. We have canned goods, boxed goods, and hygiene products that need sorting and organizing. We also have freezers where we keep meats and other freezer goods, and those items need to be individually bagged and sorted as well.

Please note: this need is preferrable for a volunteer who is available for an on-going basis, NOT for court-based required community service  A background check will be required for this volunteer position. For more information, contact Carol Alonzo at 806-642-4478 or carol@cclubbock.org

FAQ:

What do "Bigs" do?- Bigs will be matched with a child who enjoys doing similar activities as them. The Big will then plan outings with their Little based on their interests. Do you love to play soccer? Take your Little to the park and teach them how to play! Do you love to read? Go to the library and start a mini-book club. The possibilities are endless. What is the time commitment?- Our volunteers are asked to spend 1-2 hours a week with their Little for at least 12-18 months. Why such a big commitment? Research has shown that our program can make LASTING impacts when the children are matched with their big for at least 12-18 months after the enrollment process What if I miss a week? That's ok! You will be in charge of setting up your schedule. If you go out of town for a week, maybe you can make up that time the next week. However, we ask that our volunteers try their best to see their Little at least once a week. Do I have to spend a lot of money? No! We actually encourage our volunteers to seek out low to no-cost activities. Don't worry though, you are not alone! We provide a monthly newsletter to all our volunteers with a list of low to no-cost activities going on in the community that month. We also provide at least one free activity a month that you are invited to attend.

Volunteer: Assist in tutoring an adult as they embark on their journey of learning to read for the first time!

If you're reading this, you're doing better than 13% of our community.  Sadly, 1 out of every 8 people living in Lubbock County are illiterate.  But you can help!

We're on the lookout for ABE (adult basic education) volunteers to help teach our adult students how to read!  You'll be working one-on-one with a singular student to help them learn how to read.  Whether they've never learned before or have dsylexic tendencies that have prevented them from getting it, we have specialized curriculum to help.

This opportunity is entirely flexible: you'll work with your student to set your own schedule.  Only want to meet once a week?  Done.  Want to meet up at a local Starbucks that's close to both of you?  Done.  You take the reigns and figure out a pace that works with you and your student.  And we provide all the support you'll need!

 

In today's world, reading is paramount.  From text messages to articles, from social media to newspapers, people need to read.  And you can help them achieve that goal.

 

About Literacy Lubbock:

Literacy Lubbock was established in 1989 as a local nonprofit dedicated to helping adults learn how to read.  Since then, we've helped more than 7,000 people in the Hub City learn how to read, get their GED, or learn English as a second language and we've distributed more than 50,000 children's books.   Our mission and goal is simple: to support and execute programs that enable people to become literate. 

Because at the end of the day, we believe education and literacy levels are the root cause for a lot of today's problems.  Literacy has a weighty impact on nearly every socio-economic issue plaguing us today, from prison rates, health, employment, poverty levels, and so on.  The surest way for a person to improve their circumstances is by improving their education, and we believe that journey should be accessible, available, and free to any who want it.

Literacy Lubbock is about changing lives and making our world a better place through the people who live here.  Knowledge is power.  And we're determined to share it.
