One of the Mission Center’s greatest blessings is the volunteers who help us serve others and the community as a whole. Current volunteer opportunities are below.
Media and Outreach
Contact Dana A. Goward, dagoward@gmail.com
We are seeking a volunteer to refresh and maintain our Facebook presence and explore other social media opportunities. We would like them to establish a regular rhythm of outreach and communications to the Annandale UMC congregation, partner congregations and agencies, to compile and maintain a roster of public officials and commercial interests to periodically contact and keep informed, and to support the board of directors in these contacts and outreach.

Each Tuesday and Thursday morning we pick up donated food from our grocery store and bakery partners and deliver it to the site for distribution Thursday afternoon. This requires use of some volunteers’ vehicles, loading and unloading, lifting/carrying boxes and bags of food, and stocking rolling shelves.
Preparation, distribution, and light clean up is done in two shifts on Thursday afternoons from 3-5 and 5-7 p.m.
To donate food, please check with Barbra Pearson at barbjpearson@gmail.com for what we currently are low on. We always need more canned tuna (packed in water), canned fruit (in light syrup), box cereal (preferably not sugary), 1-pound rice (brown or white), 1-pound dried beans (any variety), jar peanut butter, and 1-pound spaghetti boxes (wheat or white).

Volunteer positions are available for planning and planting landscaping, as well as leading a team of volunteers to maintain it. Materials will be provided. We are only able to afford a seasonal grass cutting service to help maintain our grounds. Volunteers are also needed to do minor maintenance and repair, painting, caulking, and other tasks. The Mission Center has a part time custodian and shares one facilities maintenance person with the much larger AUMC main campus. Both are exceptional team members but can’t do everything.
We also need repair to a section of our roof. Donations of or significant discount on repair work by a licensed contractor would be very helpful.
