Volunteerism

315-376-8202
 

Lewis County Opportunities relies heavily on volunteers to run many of its vital services.

These include:

  • A 24-hour crisis hotline

  • Four food pantries

  • Opportunity Knocks Thrift Store

These services wouldn't function without the time and dedication of volunteers. In fact, the organization emphasizes that without volunteer board members, it wouldn't exist at all. If you're interested in making a difference in your community, you're encouraged to complete and return a volunteer application.
