Office help
Volunteer each week for an hour, an afternoon or a whole day in the NBA Woodhaven administrative office. We need help with data entry, filing, basic accounting, or other administrative needs.
Handyman help
NBA Woodhaven is unable to employ a maintenance person, so there are often little jobs that we must hire out. A skilled handyman willing to volunteer once a month or every other week would be a great help. We are also in need of a licensed electrician to cap the lights in our parking lot. We would of course pay for supplies.
Help directly with our individuals
Volunteer to spend some time with one or more of the individuals served by NBA Woodhaven in community settings. Form a new friendship with a unique individual. |
| Groups |
Adopt a home, or group of homes
NBA Woodhaven serves over 100 men and women in 45 family-sized homes and apartments throughout Columbia . Most of our individuals live in groups of three. Your group could adopt one of our homes and form relationships with the individuals served there. They always love getting to know new people. The members of your group could also help plant flowers, rake leaves, go on activities or decorate the home.
Hold a dance or other social event
The men and women with developmental disabilities who we serve love the opportunity to socialize, but there is rarely enough money to organize an activity for all the men and women served by NBA Woodhaven. We challenge your group to sponsor, plan and hold a dance or social event for the men and women of NBA Woodhaven. A great opportunity to do this would be around Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day or Halloween and have it be a theme event. All the members of your group would be invited to attend as well, and would have the chance to get to know the very special men and women who receive services from NBA Woodhaven.
Have a fundraiser to benefit NBA Woodhaven
It could be as simple as a bake sale or car wash or as formal as an evening dinner. It could be something fun like a golf tournament or a dance marathon. It could be something completely new and creative. NBA Woodhaven raises funds to support our residential and day programs, our health services department, our staff training programs, transportation costs, activities, and other operational needs that are not fully covered by other funding sources. Any fundraiser, large or small, would be a great benefit to the men and women served by NBA Woodhaven. |
