Volunteer: Learning How to Get Connected: Build Your Community (On-line SOAR Activity)

This is an activity to familiarize yourself with Community Connect and to learn how to search for and "respond" to volunteer opportunities. First, you should explore the website and practice searching for opportunities. This online system is a valuable resource and tool made available for your success.  Whether you are seeking opportunities as an individual or part of a group, using this platform will open doors for networking and the potential for earning service awards at Miami University Regionals.

To complete this Activity 1 you must hit the "Respond" button in the upper right corner. 

Hitting respond alerts a non-profit that you are interested in volunteering with their organization. They will then reach out to you with next steps. For this activity, you will not need to take any further steps with our office. 

After completing this activity move on to Activity 2 where you will answer two questions on the Canvas Discussion Board:

Are there any organizations on Community Connect that you already volunteer with? If not, are there any that interest you? Are there any organizations you currently volunteer with that are not on Community Connect? If so, please list them.

Volunteer: Help Organize the Food Pantry

Once a month FTHP has to sort through its food pantry to ensure the canned and boxed food we have in our pantry to serve to our guests is fresh. Our pantry shelves are organized by product and expiration date. We get donations in daily, and because food preparation takes precedence over task such as these, we often don't have time to place items where they belong. We need volunteers to come in once a month to check the expiration dates on our inventory, and organize our pantry, so that we can remain compliant and in good standing.

Volunteer: Lakeland's Project SEARCH - Pop/Pull Tab Collection Site for Ronald McDonald House

Pull Tab Program at Lakeland - Ongoing Collection by Lakeland's Project SEARCH Student Interns  Containers can be found all over Lakeland - Look for them in the  Athletic Fitness Center, Breakers Cafeteria, PT Faculty Offices, FT Faculty Offices, if you wish to donate pull tabs and cannot locate a container call: Mary Brown @ 440.525.7824    In 2017, we helped Ronald McDonald House  collect more than 15,500 pounds of aluminum tabs, generating more than $6,975 in recycling revenue. 

How does it work?

We collect aluminum pull tabs from any container (soda pop, soup, pet food, etc.) and work with a local recycler to turn those tabs into money for the Ronald McDonald House Family Fund. This fund helps support the families that stay at RMH by providing meals and items for families, assistance in emergencies, and giving families special moments – like small gifts for children if they have a birthday while at the House. 

Why do you only collect the tab? 
Tabs are easier to store than whole cans in our limited space. Also, tabs are more sanitary than the entire can, which is important in keeping our facility clean and healthy for RMH  guests. 

How much do you receive for the tabs? 

After the tabs are collected, our local recycler picks up the tabs and brings them to their processing facility, where they are weighed to determine their value (values can vary significantly). The recycling center then sends RMH a check for the total value.
