Volunteer

Your time and talent will brighten someone's day at Vita Living. Check out these volunteer opportunities for you or your group.

Day Center Activities

There’s always something happening in our Day Center.

You will assist our clients with activities like arts and crafts, relay races, Bingo, group exercise, and so much more! Shifts are available Monday – Friday from 10:00-11:30 and 1:00-2:30. Our staff can help you choose an activity that you’ll enjoy.

Bingo games are hugely popular and we hold them on Fridays at 1:30. Volunteers help clients with their cards or call out numbers. And we can always use extra prizes! Come by yourself or bring your team, church, or social group.

 

Client Parties

Twice a month we hold Friday night parties for our clients in the Day Center.

It’s a fun night out for clients and staff and usually includes music, dancing, food, bingo and holiday celebrations. We have rung in the New Year (early), celebrated Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day, held a 50’s style sock hop, and offered a Halloween trunk or treat. It’s the best Friday night out you will have with the sweetest people. Our clients love to dance and have fun and their happiness is infectious!

Volunteers can make it an evening to remember when you help with set up, bring the snacks like nachos or ice cream, offer extra Bingo prizes, bring decorations, or offer themed activities.

Volunteers are not required to bring items. You can just come help with setting up, serving the snacks, and clean up. Our clients will love spending time with you no matter what.

Holiday Helpers

Make our clients’ Holiday Wishes come true!

The Holidays are special at Vita Living, especially because many of our clients have no known or living family.

Volunteer and donation options include:

  • Sponsor a client for Christmas and ensure someone has presents under the tree. You can go shopping, have items delivered directly to Vita Living, or send a donation to cover presents.
  • Get together with your team, church group, or friends and adopt a whole house. You can provide presents or items for the home such as kitchenware or bathroom necessities.
  • Need something a little less time consuming? Sponsor a Thanksgiving meal box for one or more of our homes to ensure all of our clients get a warm Thanksgiving feast to share with their Vita Living family.
  • Hold a drive for items needed for our Day Center programs or donate a gently used Christmas tree and decorations.
