Volunteer

Coordinate and lead nightly Chapel services for the men and women in the life-recovery program.

We need volunteers like you to be a liaison between the Rescue Mission and your church, place of employment, civic organization, or community so more people hear about the Rescue Mission and the opportunities for outreach ministry.

The Mission always needs cleaning and hygiene products, clothing, food for our pantry, and seasonal items. 

Volunteers are asked to help organize drives and/or help solicit donation drives within the community.

If you are interested in helping organize a donation drive, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Patti Stevenson at patti@rescuemissionga.com or 478-743-5445, ext 403. 

On Good Friday, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Eve we deliver meals to home-bound elderly, disabled, hospice patients, and food insecure families. We need individuals and groups to help pre-prepare the food during the week of each event, and to deliver the meals on the designated days. (OPEN TO VOLUNTEER GROUPS)

Volunteers are needed to help residents improve or gain reading skills.

Prayer is one of the pillars that supports the Rescue Mission. This team serves as “prayer warriors” for the ministry, our residents, and the staff. The team receives weekly, confidential prayer requests via email to lift up in prayer, and periodically conducts Prayer Walks on the Mission’s campus.

Mentors fill a critical role for the men and women in our life-recovery program who are learning what it looks like to walk with Jesus Christ. Mentors are paired with residents during the last phase of the program, meeting weekly to provide a caring ear, further biblical guidance, and compassionate encouragement as they begin to transition from the program back to their families and communities.

Help with the planning and/or day-of-event activities for the Mission’s annual golf tournament, graduation celebrations, holidays, and other events.

We are can offer opportunities to our volunteers occasionally in our two thrift sorting and organizing the items that have been donated. If you are interested, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Patti Stevenson, to make arrangements with our Thrift to serve.

Transportation for both the men’s and women’s divisions is a huge need at the Mission. This team drives residents to weekly Celebrate Recovery events, group outings, and to doctor appointments, interviews, and other activities. By driving a Rescue Mission van, volunteers not only provide transportation, but also have an opportunity to share the love of Christ, build relationships, provide encouragement, offer prayer, and be a listening ear along the way.
