The Value of Volunteerism

Besides the humanitarian and spiritual virtues of volunteerism, the gift of time and talents may be measured in tangible ways.

For the month of June 2010, volunteers at Joining Hands Community Mission logged a total of 1,115 hours of service. Multiplied by Florida's minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, our volunteers collectively gave a gift of service valued at $8,083.75 to the Mission in one month!

Here at Joining Hands Community Mission we value our volunteers and truly appreciate their generosity. If you would like to join their ranks, please call or email us to find out how you can volunteer (727-937-3268 or nancy@joininghandsmission.org).

We are currently in need of personal shoppers in the Metro Market, hospitality and intake personnel in the Resource Center, and reception/phone answering at the front desk in Administration. For the summer, we also need people to help prepare and serve breakfasts and lunches to children at camp, as well as assistance in preparing childrens clothing and backpacks for Kids Camp.
