Available Neighborhoods Resource Program:
CARE was developed in response to the needs of the neighborhood community. It is designed to facilitate an easy transition for volunteers to address those needs and interface with social services and community volunteer organizations to form a rounded approach to assist those neighbors in need without a complete burden on any one participant.
It is comprised of: a volunteer CARE committee (local faith based representative & concerned neighbors), neighborhood, school, community volunteers, and social service agencies.
The goal is to be a bridge to avoid vulnerable individuals falling through the cracks until their situation improves or they start receiving assistance from an agency. The committee will use common sense and caring to evaluate the length of time someone is in the CARE program and to what extent CARE is needed. The committee will also make a caring and careful decision on referrals to the program.
Training is available to volunteer neighborhood CARE leaders and their committee.
Some topics are:
Training:
Program and Committee Definition
Disaster Assistance component and tips
How to set up a “CARE Tool Bank”
Volunteers: Who can you call for assistance?
Practical Information:
Referral Sources / Speakers Bureau
More referral sources and CARE tips
Contacts: Lists of CARE group contact information
Resources:
Collection of Social Services Information and Applications to educate yourselves and your neighbors.
Are you interested in restoring hope to neighborhoods as a volunteer individual or group?
Are you interested in establishing a CARE group in your neighborhood?
