VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Dental Clinics provide low-cost dental care for persons without insurance and who could not otherwise afford care. Local Dentists and Assistants donate one day per month of professional services to staff the clinic. Additional Dentists licensed to practice in the State of Tennessee are needed.

Work Camps provide no cost home repairs for the elderly and for other eligible area residents. Repairs include painting, roofing, repairing porches and floors, building steps and ramps, and a host of other projects. Occasionally groups do major remodeling projects. Each group furnishes all the tools and supplies for the project they select.

Work Camp Goals are:

To make homes safe, accessible and dry.

To make homes warm in the winter and as cool as possible in summer.

And to make homes more pleasant to live in.

Our Work Camps which were traditionally summer projects for Youth and their Adult Leaders have been expanded to include spring and fall dates for Adult Groups.

Groups coming for one-day Work Projects clean up around the grounds, rake leaves, repair equipment, paint, and do a host of other chores. Often one-day projects serve to introduce a new group to the volunteer opportunities at RRM. And some of these groups come back the next year for weeklong Work Camps.

Other Volunteer Opportunities include sizing and sorting clothing at the Thrift Store, stocking the food shelves, helping with mailings or helping to deliver Home-Delivered Meals. Groups of Volunteers are needed from Thanksgiving through the first week of December each year to stock and operate the Christmas Toy Store.
