Volunteering has been sewn into the fabric of military members, their families, and the community for centuries. Our nation’s history is deeply rooted by the valiant efforts of countless volunteers.
The organization that does so much to help Soldiers and their families is now in need of help.
Army Community Service, which houses a number of assistive programs and services, relies on volunteers to keep operations running smoothly.
Jeannie Johnston, ACS division chief, said the most critical need is in âinformation referralâ at the front desk, where volunteers greet visitors at the office on Aerobee Road, and answer the phone.
âYou get to answer a lot of questions about a variety of things,â she said. âItâs definitely a good spot for a people person.â
Ideally, ACS will have two volunteers at the front desk during every shift, typically either four hours in the morning or four hours in the afternoon, but days and hours are flexible.
