Volunteers Needed!
Augsburg University’s Health Commons are health-focused drop-in centers and an important part of our community. We have seen substantial growth over the last year and we need more help! While we have several locations, the Central Health Commons (Central Lutheran Church, 333 South 12th Street, Minneapolis) is our busiest.
Last year the Diaper Bank of MN invited us to be Strategic Partners and we now receive 100,000 diapers annually, most of which are distributed at the Central location. Last year approximately 5,000 people visited the Central Health Commons, and this year we expect to increase that number considerably.
We are looking for volunteers to help us distribute diapers and hygiene kits, Mondays and Thursdays from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. (volunteers should arrive at 9:30 a.m. for a little orientation and to help set-up).
If you can find a couple of hours a week to help us out, we would appreciate it. Here is the link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0949ACAE2EA1FDCE9-augsburg#/ (select the calendar view to show the current date)
There are three types of volunteer options on the sign-up sheet: 1. Augsburg Student (any major) or Volunteer, 2. RN/PA students who provide health care services, 3. Spanish speaking volunteers (about 70% of the people who visit us are Hispanic and we would love at least one Spanish Speaking volunteer on site each day we are open).
For more information contact Colleen Hagerman, Nursing Department Coordinator, hagerman@augsburg.edu.
