Need ideas?

Here are just a few of the ways you or your group can volunteer your time and talent to

support the work that we do at Dakota Woodlands:

• We have opportunities for individuals to volunteer on a regular or irregular schedule...assisting in the kitchen, child care assistance, cleaning, sorting, organizing.

          Opportunities for groups include...

• Plan and supervise a craft project for children or adults (t-shirt painting, card stamping, scrap-booking, etc.)

• Plan and serve Saturday or Sunday brunch

• Plan and organize a special themed meal with decorations or a barbecue and games

• Have a special pampering event just for the adult residents.

• Adopt-a-room…Have your group design and decorate a room at our facility.

• Donate items for our resident's store. Each resident has a "punch card" that they can use to purchase personal or household items for themselves and/or their children at our store. They get card punches for chores, goals met, etc.

• Want a team project for your work group or club? We always need special cleaning: choose a room or wing to thoroughly clean (windows, window sills, radiators, floor to ceiling for meeting rooms, play rooms, etc.)

• Collect items from your neighbors or group such as like paper products, garbage bags, office supplies (Please call us to discuss our current needs and the timing of your drive.)

• Gift certificates are always appreciated! 

• Organize a fundraiser to benefit the shelter (e.g. bake sale, coin collection, garage sale). 

• Share your talent or skills; music, yoga, an exercise class, crafts, parenting, career skills (interviewing, resumes, etc.)

We look forward to working with you!
