Our volunteers are the lifeblood of BTAC! Without them, we would not be able to provide the wide array of services to neighbors in need. BTAC volunteers provide either Client Services or Pantry Services. Here’s a quick description of each:
Client Services Volunteers work with a database, entering services that we provide for BTAC clients, and answer phones. You will also conduct intakes for our new clients and annual updates with our existing clients. You may also be scheduling appointments for showers and laundry services. In this area, you will be interacting with our clients one-on-one.
Pantry Volunteers receive and sort donated food items, do inventory, and package grocery orders for our clients. You may be asked to move up to 30 pound crates of non-perishable foods. There may be some cleaning involved, including breaking down boxes, and you may serve our non-housed clients already prepared sack lunches.
What we need are candidates who can dedicate one morning (or more, if you like!) every week to BTAC. If you have three or four hours available between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM any day of the work week, let’s talk!
BTAC works with the Burbank Volunteer Program to bring our volunteers on board. It’s a simple process and we can help you through the steps, as needed.
For information on how to become a volunteer, please contact BTAC’s Volunteer Coordinator, the amazing Libby Vice, at volunteer@thebtac.org or (818) 848-2822, extension #1014.
(Please note, BTAC does not accept court ordered volunteers.)
IKEA Hosts the BTAC Volunteer Luncheon
A rousing thank you to Mary Ann Barroso-Castanon and Robert Morgan of IKEA, who hosted BTAC’s amazing volunteers on November 4. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization – without them, there is no BTAC doing good work in the community. THANK YOU to all our amazing volunteers!
