2009 Volunteer Opportunities
Updated March 2009

NOVACO is working on a business plan to start a furniture re-sale store. Furniture benefits our clients, as well as low income families in the community. Volunteers to help write the plan are needed.

We are looking for warehouse space to put the furniture in until ready for to give to our families. We just get lots of furniture donations and many times have to turn it down donations.

We need volunteers interested in helping on our PR and Marketing committee. We have great volunteers and need to get some of the things we do into the local papers, etc.

NOVACO needs volunteers to help with our Mother's Day brunch Sat the 9th of May.

  1. Gather goodie bag donations for the moms
  2. Childcare the day of the brunch
  3. Decorating Committee help
