Volunteer

Although Multi-Service is staffed with hardworking, knowledgeable professionals, we couldn't do all that we do in the community without the help of volunteers. In 2016, almost 500 volunteers logged 45,091 hours! Our volunteers come from different backgrounds, from all walks of life and have their own unique skill sets, Boy Scouts and retirees alike. 

Below are just a few of the volunteer positions we're always looking to fill.
These aren't the only ways you can help out at Multi-Service. Complete our online Volunteer Application form today and we'll find a place just for you!

For more information on how YOU can get involved in all that we do with the community, contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 610-367-6957.

Please note: In regards to court-ordered community service, we have a minimum age requirement of 18 years.
Boyertown Area Multi-Service reserves the right to exclude certain types of offenders from service through our organization.

Community Food Pantry

Our Community Food Pantry is a busy place! Everyday we receive donations of food and nonfood items from the community delivered to our door. Food Pantry volunteers assist with sorting and stocking the shelves, taking inventory, and preparing the food assistance packages provided to Multi-Service Case Management clients. Whatever time you have available, consider joining the hustle and bustle of our Food Pantry. You'll meet and greet community members and assist clients while continuously preparing our shelves for a new day!

Meals on Wheels
​Drivers and Runners

Volunteers are always needed to drive or assist a driver in delivering Meals on Wheels. If you have approximately two hours at lunchtime, one or two days per month, give us a call!

Kitchen Volunteers and
​Meals on Wheels Packers

Kitchen volunteers help the chef serve meals in our Senior Center and package food for the Meals on Wheels program. Volunteers may assist on a weekly basis (or more often). Meals on Wheels packers volunteer from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, and general kitchen volunteers serve from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Tasks vary and could include anything from portioning food to washing dishes.

Volunteer Transportation to
​Medical Appointments

Volunteers provide transportation for residents of the community who have no other means of getting to and from medical appointments. There is no obligation when asked to drive and we do offer reimbursement for gas mileage.

Income Tax Assistance Program

 Interested volunteers will be required to participate in a training program for the completion of federal and state taxes. Tax forms may be completed online and will be limited to relatively simple filings.
