Volunteer at the Disaster Recovery Center

Family Promise is seeking compassionate volunteers to assist at their table in the Disaster Recovery Center for Hurricane Debby survivors. Opening on August 19 at Sarasota Christian Church on Ashton Road, the center will operate for a month. Volunteers will guide individuals in completing assistance applications, with no prior experience necessary. Shifts can be tailored to your comfort, lasting between 2 to 4 hours. The center will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 7 PM and on Sundays from 1 PM to 5 PM. A brief training session will prepare volunteers on the application process and center operations. If you are interested in making a difference, please reach out to Tara Maffei, Executive Director.
