You can make a difference in someone else's life. In the words of a former Charter House resident:
Volunteering might make a difference in your life.
Here are some ways you can get involved: Staff the Charter House![]() Provide a critical service to the community while meeting new people. Volunteers work 3-4 hour shifts in pairs. To sign up or for more information, email mskachmar@gmavt.net or call (802) 989-3108. The Charter House requires two staff members to be present at all times. These trained volunteers oversee house security, address resident concerns, and provide support as needed with childcare and meal preparation. Most importantly, volunteers help foster an atmosphere of community support, acceptance, and hope. Volunteers sign up for shifts according to what works with their own schedule, and may choose to staff shifts with a friend, or to meet someone new. Most shifts last about four hours, with a few shorter shifts in the morning and early afternoon, and a longer overnight shift. To sign up as a volunteer at the Charter House, please download and complete our Volunteer Application. Prepare and serve Community LunchesFood donations and baked goods are always appreciated. To donate food or volunteer as a cook/server, please email ginnypots@comcast.net or call (802) 989-7272. Cooks, servers, dishwashers, musicians, and others needed every Friday afternoon/evening to put on a fun, community dinner. To get involved, email fdneuberger@middlebury.edu or call (802) 233-7588.
