Volunteer: Youth Volunteering Project: Spring into Action for ALICE Families - Create Care KitsThis spring is the perfect time to take action to assist ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families who work hard in our community, but who struggle financially and are one crisis or emergency away from falling into poverty. As part of this year's National Volunteer Month (April) and to promote volunteerism that has a direct impact in our community, United Way of Northern New Jersey is offering a volunteer project to assist families with critical essential items for their well-being. Volunteers are asked to create Care Kits that include any (or all) of the following essential needs for families: * Shampoo/Conditioner * Soap * Deodorant * Toothpaste/Toothbrushes * Feminine Hygiene products * Home cleaning products (paper towels, dish soap, household cleaner, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.) Items can be full-size or travel-size (which works better in shelter or transitional housing situations) and can be packed in Ziplock types of bags or in any type of reusable bags. Another option for volunteers is to create a Baby Care Kit - which would include any type of baby care items such as: diapers, wipes, baby shampoo and baby wash, towels, bottles, clothes, powder formula, toys and anything else that would be helpful for new parents in need. We are aiming to have the Care Kits ready for distribution to our ALICE clients and those of our partner nonprofit organizations by Friday, April 28, 2023, but we can accept the Care Kits any time this spring. United Way would like to recognize and thank all volunteers participating in this project, so if you register to participate, please take photos of your work and the kits, so that we can share your efforts on social media and thank you publicly for Taking Action for ALICE Families this spring! If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Lisa Galonardo at lisa.galonardo@unitedwaynnj.org.

Agency: United Way of Northern New Jersey This spring is the perfect time to take action to assist ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families who work hard in our community, but who struggle financially and are one crisis or emergency away from falling into poverty. As part of this year's National Volunteer Month (April) and to promote volunteerism that has a direct impact in our community, United Way of Northern New Jersey is offering a volunteer project to assist families with critical essential items for their well-being. Volunteers are asked to create Care Kits that include any (or all) of the following essential needs for families: * Shampoo/Conditioner * Soap * Deodorant * Toothpaste/Toothbrushes * Feminine Hygiene products * Home cleaning products (paper towels, dish soap, household cleaner, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.) Items can be full-size or travel-size (which works better in shelter or transitional housing situations) and can be packed in Ziplock types of bags or in any type of reusable bags. Another option for volunteers is to create a Baby Care Kit - which would include any type of baby care items such as: diapers, wipes, baby shampoo and baby wash, towels, bottles, clothes, powder formula, toys and anything else that would be helpful for new parents in need. We are aiming to have the Care Kits ready for distribution to our ALICE clients and those of our partner nonprofit organizations by Friday, April 28, 2023, but we can accept the Care Kits any time this spring. United Way would like to recognize and thank all volunteers participating in this project, so if you register to participate, please take photos of your work and the kits, so that we can share your efforts on social media and thank you publicly for Taking Action for ALICE Families this spring! If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Lisa Galonardo at lisa.galonardo@unitedwaynnj.org. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your time and support of ALICE families in our community!!

Volunteer: Volunteer Guardianship near Lincoln Park, Spanish speaking preferredVolunteer Guardianship One on One, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that recruits, trains and monitors volunteer guardians to provide guardianship services. We are looking for a volunteer guardian for "Ana". She is 36 years old and currently residing in a care facility near Wayne due to mental, physical, and developmental disabilities. Ana is originally from the Dominican Republic and, although she speaks and understands English, a bilingual volunteer would be ideal. She has some family in PA that visit when they can, but they are unable to serve as guardians and she is frequently alone and unengaged. However, when someone shows interest, she can describe what she likes and wants, which includes reading books in Spanish, cleaning the common area, and browsing her phone. Ana urgently needs someone to visit her consistently and to be a responsible point person for her medical and psychological care in order to maximize her opportunities for independence and increased quality of life. A guardian is someone who has been appointed by the court to make decisions and take actions for another person who is not able to make decisions for themselves. A guardian is not a caregiver but makes arrangements to ensure the person receives the proper level and type of care, soliciting as much input from the person as possible. If you are interested in making a difference for "Ana" then this opportunity is for you.
