Volunteer Opportunities

  • Published
FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. --  
Big Brothers Big Sisters
Michael Anderson Elementary School is looking for Big Brothers and Big Sisters, men and women who are free to spend one hour per week during lunch with a child at the school. They would have lunch together and be with them at recess. Consistency is critical for children as they become very attached to their big brother or sister. The school understands there are times when a big brother or sister may be gone out of town or other setbacks, but will work around this.

Applications are available at the school. Volunteers will be screened by Big Brothers, Big Sisters and an interview would be scheduled. For information call Cheryl Stitt at 565-3604.

Epicurean Delight
The Inland Northwest Blood Center in Spokane is hosting this year's Epicurean Delight, an evening of fine food and wine at the Spokane Convention Center. Proceeds will benefit the Blood Center's national morrow donor program. Last year, the event brought in enough support to purchase a mobile blood donor coach.

The Blood Center is requesting volunteers from Fairchild on Nov. 2 to help with setup, tear down and a variety of support tasks that make Epicurean Delight the longest standing black-tie event in Spokane.

They need approx 55 volunteers to cover three shifts:
1) 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. - 20 volunteers needed; lunch will be provided, dress is casual work clothing

2) 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. - 20 volunteers needed; lunch will be provided, dress is casual work clothing

3) 5 p.m. to midnight -15 volunteers needed; dinner will be provided; dress is black pants and white shirt or blouse due to public interaction.
