Special Event Volunteer

CEAP hosts many special events, where volunteers are needed. These are short-term volunteering opportunities, so if you don't feel you have the time to take a "regular" volunteering shift, you can still help out by volunteering at one of our special events for as many shifts as fits into your schedule.

Inquire early though, because these volunteering positions fill up quickly.

Special events:

• Holiday Program
• Back-to-School Program
• Various fundraisers throughout the year
• Short-term seasonal Meals on Wheels delivery
