There are many different ways and places to volunteer at Catholic Charities. Some of the most urgent needs at this time include (but are not limited to):

Volunteer Accounts Receivable Clerk
This part time volunteer position provides administrative support within the office of Business and Finance. Key tasks include double-batch daily cash receipts in preparation for input, accurately process and record daily accounts receivables as needed, problem solve donor questions professionally & timely, research and correct address changes as needed, provide front desk reception relief as needed and other duties as assigned. If you are looking for a regular volunteer opportunity and can operate a ten-key with speed and accuracy, use Windows XP, Microsoft Office, Peachtree, or Financial Edge software, contact John O'Neill. 

Receptionist - Catholic Charities Main Reception Desk or Program Reception Desks
Responsibilities include greeting guests and directing them to programs and offices, answering the phone, and light office duties. Hours available on weekdays 8:30-4:30 pm; hours to be scheduled according to your availability and our scheduling needs in coordination with other volunteers’ availability.

Support Services Volunteers
Our Supports Services program includes the Food Pantry, Clothing Center, Donation Center and Warehouse. These programs are totally volunteer-driven and could not support the needs of our clients without numerous volunteers.  We serve an average of 75 families a day with groceries, clothing, small household items and personal items.  Volunteer duties include receiving and sorting donations, folding hanging and displaying clothing, stocking grocery shelves, filling food orders, assisting clients with their orders and being the hands of Christ to those we serve.  We need helpers anytime Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Tuesday evenings from 4:30 to 7:30 pm, and/or the third Saturday of each month from 9:00 am to noon.

Natural Family Planning Assistant
As the NFP program continues to grow at Catholic Charities, so do the volunteer needs.  If you have clerical/administrative skills, want to be involved in a pro-life program that touches so many lives, and want to have a direct impact on the many people we serve, perhaps this is the program for you.

Horticulture/landscaping/gardening consulting/support
Catholic Charities' new campus is a beautiful and welcoming facility that offers dignity and peace to those we serve.  It also means we need the "hands of Christ" to help keep the flowers, plants and green spaces looking presentable.  If you have a green thumb, and/or know the difference between a weed and a flower, we could use your help.  Many volunteer groups and Boy Scouts (for their Eagle projects) have helped us develop the landscape plan donated by an landscape architect.  Maintenance of these spaces is an ongoing and necessary part of the volunteer needs at Catholic Charities.  Can you help?

Rural Outreach Program
Assistance is provided to numerous rural parishes in eastern Oklahoma through grocery supplies or financial aid. Catholic Charities’ Helping Center in Sallisaw provides groceries, clothing and referral services Monday through Friday. St. Jude Helping Center in McAlester also provides groceries, referral services and case management on Fridays and Saturdays.  Both of these locations are in need of volunteers during their open hours.
