Needs From: South Serves

Dwell Connect is gearing up for summer fun! We need volunteers to help this summer be the best for the kids and families.

In July, we are planning three weeks of summer camp - two weeks will be on-site at Dwell Mobile, and one week will be at Christ United! Camp days at Dwell will be Tuesday-Thursday, but if we have enough volunteers, we will add Mondays! 

Volunteers will be needed 10:45am-2:00pm each day to help with setup and prep for the next day. Below are the weeks of camp. 

July 7-9 @ Dwell 

July 13-15 @ Christ United (volunteers still needed)

July 21-23 @ Dwell

*Additional volunteer requirements may be needed to align with Dwell volunteer policy.* 

Help Dwell with their on-site Food Pantry! 

Dwell is a partner of Feeding the Gulf Coast and has a food pantry on-site for community members. We need volunteers to help us on delivery days (usually once a month) to unload, stock, and organize the pantry, and bag food for easy distribution. 

You can serve extra volunteer time throughout the week (during Dwell's hours) by organizing and sorting the pantry when needed. 

Specific service days and times will vary. Please contact us before coming.

Do you speak English and Spanish? Arabic? Swahili? We need interpreters to help with events such as wellness groups, financial literacy classes, and employment seminars. You'll be an incredible asset to help us bridge the gap for families as they participate in important workshops and meetings. Sign up to get on the list to help with future events.

Dwell Connect (formerly Passport to Literacy) is our tutoring program for all school-aged children, held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4:00-5:45pm. Volunteers can serve on either day or both days, whichever fits best with their schedule. 

Volunteers are needed from 3:30-6:00pm and will help with a variety of activities, including one-on-one tutoring, enrichment activities, and playing soccer! 

This program is held off-site from Dwell Mobile (close to South Alabama) and will follow the public school calendar. Volunteers must be 18 or older and provide a background check when working with children. Location will be given once volunteer is confirmed. 

Dwell Connect is where learning, life, and play come together!

Help us accept, organize, price, and sell items in our thrift store! Donations to the thrift store are dropped off consistently to be organized and set out. All proceeds of Dwell Goods go to Dwell Mobile. Hours for the thrift store are Tuesday-Friday, 10:00am-5:00 pm and Saturdays 10:00am-3:00pm. *Shifts can be for full or half days or a few hours to work with your schedule.*

Monday Movers help us pick up thrift store donations for our thrift store - Dwell Goods! We need volunteers every Monday beginning at 11am. Larger vehicles, trucks, and trailers for pick-ups are most helpful, but not required. We are most in need of hands to help move and organize! Volunteers can expect to serve a few hours until early afternoon.
