Needs From: United Way of Greater Charlottesville

We are open Mondays and Thursdays 10-2 and now Saturdays 10-noon and need volunteers to help in our warehouse. Volunteers to assist in all areas of operation including greeting clients and equipment donors; processing and inventorying donated items; cleaning equipment; assisting clients with requests, stocking equipment and supplies. This position does require alot of walking as well as light lifting. If those days do not work with your schedule, after training, volunteers can come on other days to do cleaning or inventory when we are officially closed to the public. Ideally, volunteers will commit to a 2-4 hr time on a specific day and can help on that scheduled day/date each week.  Consistency helps with the training process and the volunteer's ability to best serve in the work we have at the warehouse and for our communities needs. Please contact us if you would like a tour of our warehouse to see if you would like to join our ABF volunteer family and our mission to serve those in need!

Volunteer will have knowledge of Weebly and will assist with updating our current website and adding pages for specific fundraising events. Volunteer will also help with deleting  and adding pictures of our pediatric equipment to help keep this current for our clients in need to view

ABF now has a mobile unit that sets up at a partner site in each surrounding county. We need volunteers to assist our mobile unit manager with assisting clients with items needed and with assisting donors when dropping off donations. We are at each site on specific days of the week from 10-noon.

Mondays: Nelson County at Food Lion parking lot in Lovingston

Tuesdays: Buckingham County at First Baptist Church

Wednesdays: Fluvanna County at Cunningham Methodist Church

Thursdays: Louisa County at St. James Episcopal Church

Fridays: Orange County at Journey Church (near Tractor Supply)

If you live in one of these counties and would like to volunteer to serve those in need in your community, please contact us!

All medical equipment that is donated to ABF needs cleaning before we give it to someone in need. ABF is in need of volunteers to help with cleaning these items. Volunteers will be training during "open" hours of Mondays and Thursdays 10-2 and Saturdays 10-noon. After training, volunteers my opt to change their schedule to Wednesdays and/or Fridays with more flexible hours. Volunteers need to be physically able to lift up to 25lbs.

Volunteers will help with calling on local businesses seeking sponsors for our new Disability Resources United online guide.  Sponsorship will help ABF to raise funding for our organization. We also need continued help with brainstorming new fundraising ideas throughout the year.  At least a third of our donations should be from our fundraising efforts and each year we need assistance with finding new avenues to pursue to achieve this goal.  We hope you will join our ABF family if you believe you have the skills to help us with our fundraising needs.

Looking for church, school, or civic groups, or individuals to orchestrate a medical equipment drive.  With our continued growth, we are often out of certain items and have long waitlists.  Most current need is for shower chairs, tub benches, rollator walkers, wheelchairs, and hospital beds. Volunteers would decide on a specific date and location for event, use social media to get the word out, schedule volunteers for the event date to hand out ABF literature and collect equipment and supplies that are donated and then deliver to the ABF warehouse at the end of the event.
