For years many of our elderly and disabled recipients have taken pride in maintaining their homes. Now, because of physical frailty or illnesses they cannot accomplish even the simplest tasks. Volunteers can help with items such as cleaning counter areas, vacuuming, dusting, and laundry. Many combine visiting with the person while doing their tasks. Caregivers seeks to help those who have difficulty. All volunteers are asked to complete an application process that does involve reference checks. Knowledge of any disability that might affect ability to perform service would be helpful.

Think of hearing history from someone who has lived it! Many of our elderly recipients have lived through and been exposed to many experiences in their lives. Sharing these memories or other enjoyable activities is often the highlight of their day or sometimes even their week. Volunteers can offer a couple of hours a week reading, helping write cards, or playing cards or board games. All volunteers are asked to complete an application process that involves reference checks.

I know of no better feeling than that which comes from helping our elderly neighbors, the disabled, veterans, and people in poor neighborhoods who cannot, unaided, tend to basic yard maintenance—mowing, raking, edging—and, in winter, snow-clearing.

I’m looking for volunteers to join me, and experience the same wonderful feeling I get every day I am out there, helping people do what they can’t quite manage on their own, what isn’t hard for me, and that looks so nice when it is done, which gives a boost to the whole street.

Volunteers can have their own shareable profile URL, custom e-mail alias, and phone number extension. I truly welcome any and all help, which can range from school-kids to professional landscapers, neighbors with a bit of extra time, teens, students—really anyone who can help out and would like to.

I started this enterprise, but volunteers are its backbone. They keep the change-making engines running. One guy, even the one in my mirror, can’t do this alone. To sustain it, and scale it ever upward, volunteers are crucial. Think about becoming one. There is no “minimum” work requirement. You do what you can, where you are able and willing to go. Maybe just lawn work and not snow-clearing. Maybe the other way around. Maybe a little of both. Maybe a very little of both. No matter. Whatever you do will be helping someone who can’t do it. And I know of no better feeling than that.

PROSPECTIVE VOLUNTEERS MUST CALL THE WAREHOUSE TO SCHEDULE VOLUNTEER TIMES. PLEASE DO NOT SHOW UP UNANNOUNCED.

Renesting Project receives donations of gently used furniture items that we give free of charge to those in need in Bossier and Caddo Parish.

Those donations need to be unloaded from donors' vehicles, cleaned, and inventoried in order to be ready for a newly housed individual or family to pick them up.

Volunteers should expect to move furniture (as a team, never solo), vacuum or wipe down furniture, discern if items are usable, and place furniture on the warehouse shelves.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for longish periods of standing, moving furniture, and working in a warehouse with no airconditioning. As with any time you are in our warehouse and in accordance with Louisiana mandates, a mask will be required at all times.
