Volunteers Needed to Assist Clients Requesting Financial Help

Lazarus Ministry is seeking volunteers to help us interview and counsel
city residents who are requesting emergency financial assistance from our organization. We currently
are operating remotely, so volunteers will contact clients by phone to discuss their funding needs.
Volunteers will complete forms and gather documents specific to each client visit and submit them via
email to our administrator to determine eligibility and amount of assistance. Once requests are
approved, volunteers will reach out to their clients a second time to discuss the assistance we are
providing and to refer them to other organizations or services that might be able to provide additional
assistance or support. Training will be provided. Time commitment varies based on daily case load with
volunteers typically receiving one to three cases per week on non-consecutive days. Cases are assigned
Monday-Friday, usually in the late morning, and require one half hour to complete on average.
Volunteers are asked to contact their clients on the days they receive assignments, if possible, or within
24 hours at the latest. We are able to adjust assignments based on our volunteers’ weekly availability.
