Out-of-Office Hours Opportunities:

Donation Drivers

A great short-term or one-time volunteer opportunity!  Pick up donations made to CCS from the donor's home or location!  This could range from large amounts of clothing, to pet food, to furniture, and more!  Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator for more information, or to register to be "on call" for needed donation pick-ups.

 

Group Activities:

We are happy to host your group's service project or volunteering time.  Groups are welcome to perform the above listed activities, and may perform other projects at CCS as needed, such as shelving construction or small painting projects.  Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator for more information.

THANK YOU!

CCS relies on many different types of volunteers.  Last November we published a request for volunteers who could make occasional pickups of upcoming donations especially of coats.  Your response was wonderful.

 

Now we want to spotlight some of those who responded.

 

Royce is a longtime volunteer driver who for many years had delivered clothing left for CCS at FUMC and other churches, as well as shopper at Sam’s Club for plastic bags, paper towels, and other necessities.

 

This November he was joined by Catherine, Kyle, Elizabeth, Peggy, Rex and Jane, who picked up over 2,000 coats from 4 area Burlington Coat Factory stores in the Metroplex.

 

If you are interested in becoming part of this ministry, please contact our Volunteer and Donations Coordinator, Jean Jacobs, at 214-560-2511, ext. 403.
