GREEN THUMB NOT NEEDED-- JUST A HELPING HAND - TO HELP US IN FEEDING FAMILIES IN NEED

If you like gardening or the outdoors, or if you have a community group that wants to do some service work, we have a spot for you. We have several fun ways to help feed families, - as gardeners, delivering produce, weeding, harvesting, and helping at the Food Pantry.

Voices for Food operates a large cooperative learning garden, which annually produces over 16,000 pounds of produce donated to food pantries and community agencies serving families needing food assistance. This is a community based project- made up entirely of volunteers just like you

Harvesting is usually done in the morning when it is cool, but garden work can be done every day of the week and fit almost any schedule.  Food Pantry days are the first, third, and fourth Thursdays and the second Friday of each month.

This is a family friendly project and service groups, youth groups, family groups are welcome and encouraged  to participate.

Volunteer: Court Appointed Special Advocates

We are currently recruiting new CASA volunteers to advocate for kids who have been either abused and/or neglected.

CASAs speak for children who can't speak for themselves, children who have been judged as "children in need of assistance" by the state. You'll learn your role through comprehensive training, and then you'll be assigned your own case. A coach and a CASA coordinator will be there to support you along the way as you advocate in court for your assigned children.CASA volunteers average approximately 10-15 hours per month visiting their assigned child, reading case documents, contacting other case parties and preparing a monthly update for their Coordinator and Coach.  This varies considerably, depending on the number of contacts made, the number of children to visit, travel time, and other factors unique to each case.

Please  go to casaiowa.org to complete the application if you are interested in becoming a CASA.  Once your application is received you will be contacted for an interview.  The interview is as much for you to determine if CASA is a good fit for you.  If you have further questions please contact Amy at 712-279-6602.

Benefits of becoming a Humane Policy Volunteer Leader

The Humane Policy Volunteer Leader program is the first, largest and most effective animal protection policy volunteer program of its kind in the nation. HSUS volunteers are essential partners in our lifesaving work for all animals and are an integral part of this community of compassionate individuals, all of whom are deeply committed to advancing humane public policies for all animals.

Humane Policy Volunteer Leaders will become highly skilled in the rapidly growing animal protection movement, receiving advanced training and ongoing support. You will receive an orientation on our policies and programs as well as access to support and resources not provided to the public, including:

Volunteer toolkit and other resources on effective policy advocacy. Regular virtual meetings conducted by your HSUS state director. Monthly webinars on timely animal protection issues.

As a Humane Policy Volunteer Leader, you will develop skills in public policy advocacy, networking, leadership and strategic thinking, and have the opportunity to share your expertise and experiences with community members. You will gain a deeper understanding of how to be an effective animal advocate, gain in-depth knowledge about the HSUS’s priority issues and deepen your understanding of the policy process and political landscape at the federal level, as well as in your specific state.
