Please consider giving your time, talents and abilities as you are able. We are blessed with around 150 loyal, hard working volunteers and contributors.  We could not accomplish all the wonderful things we do without our hard working individuals and we would love to welcome YOU into our CCAP family!

A naturally pleasant demeanor, good questioning skills, basic computer operation knowledge, and patience are important keys to success for the receptionist.

This volunteer also receives incoming deliveries, unpacks boxes of provisions, stocks shelves and freezers, and advance-fills bags of food and goods to be given out. A clear speaking voice, physical stamina and/or upper body strength, and an ability and willingness to work in a small, crowded space are needed for this job.

The interviewer must sort through these, keeping both the client and CCAP's limited resources in mind. All assistance is provided via bills and vouchers; no cash is ever handled by a volunteer.

You have to be a problem solver at times due to the needs of the clients as some may new to CCAP.
