As a Volunteer In-Kind Donation Coordinator, you’ll help bring life to our mission by sourcing items and services essential to launching new programs at our 92-acre retreat center in Walhonding, OH. Our organization, because I said I would, is opening a new Grand Hall that will support grieving families and burnt-out caregivers—and we need your help to fill it.

You’ll identify, contact, and follow up with local businesses to secure tax-deductible in-kind donations such as: Commercial kitchen appliances, first aid kits, AEDs, hand sanitizers, wet floor signs, lawn tools, cleaning supplies, golf carts, canoes, tractors, slatwall hardware, office supplies, and more.

This is a high-impact, short-term opportunity ideal for someone who enjoys persuasive outreach, logistical problem-solving, and working independently to make meaningful change.
