Mentor as a family
A Big Family involves an entire family meeting with a Little. This is an opportunity for a family to volunteer together. The Family would be matched with a Little in a community-based program. The family would provide friendship, emotional support and hope to the young person with whom they are matched. The family will meet with their Little three to four times a month for 12 months. Contact Rachel Johnson, Big Brothers Big Sisters recruiter, at 320-258-4537.
Ring bells for SA
Volunteers are needed to ring the Salvation Army bells during the Christmas season. There are several locations within Sartell, St. Joseph, Sauk Rapids, St. Cloud and Waite Park. It can be cold outside, so volunteers must be able and willing to stand outside for at least two hours at a time. This is a great opportunity to volunteer as a family or in a group. Contact the Salvation Army at 320-252-4552.
