    Description

    Location: 2205 Gilman Dr, Oregon City, OR 97045

    Volunteer Setting: In-Person

    Priority Need: Low

    A participant is seeking a compassionate and patient volunteer to assist with organizing and unpacking personal belongings following a recent move. Due to chronic pain and mobility limitations, completing these tasks independently has been difficult and has become a significant source of stress.

    This volunteer role offers an opportunity to provide practical support while building a meaningful connection through conversation and companionship. Assistance may include sorting items, organize belongings, and helping create a comfortable, settled living space.

    Volunteer Qualifications

      • Patient, kind, and nonjudgmental
      • Comfortable assisting with light organizing and unpacking tasks
      • Able to work at a steady pace based on the participant's comfort and abilities
      • Enjoys offering encouragement and companionship

    Additional Considerations

      • The participant has a large, friendly dog and a cat in the apartment.
      • Volunteers should be comfortable around pets and aware that the apartment may have strong pet-related odors.

    Impact

    By helping someone create order and comfort in their home, you can make a meaningful difference in reducing stress, increasing independence, and providing much-needed social connection during a challenging transition.
