Volunteer Opportunity Details:
| Last updated on February 11, 2010 |
The Giving Tree has been fortunate to receive funding from individuals as well as through grant awards. There are many grant opportunities for which we qualify, but can use the assistance of another individual to submit those applications in a timely manner. The majority of the grants we apply for are foundation and company sponsored grants. We have a good base from which to submit applications, so very little time is needed to research grant opportunities.
You need not have grant writing experience, but a good dose of common sense and sensitivity to homelessness and hunger will go a long way in making your grant a success.
Grants may be written from your home or our office. A knowledge of Word is needed.  This opportunity is sponsored by: The Giving Tree Outreach Program

Overall Experience
Wonderful and Very rewarding - Great Experience for the whole family
|
We decided for our Christmas in 2004 that we wanted to spend it in giving to others. We researched opportunities throughout the western United States, before we settled on the giving tree and Libby Wright. Libby was so enthusiastic and helpful. We has a famuily could not have had a more rewarding experience. We spent 10 days over Christmas serving the great people in Tucson. From wrapping gifts, feeding the less fortunate, contruction projects, ,picking up items of donation, delivering goods - the list goes on and on. We was able to provide a Christmas dinner at the Grace Home and allow the year round volunteers to spent the day with their families. Our family benefited in many ways from this experience and grew closer together as a result. We will be back again in 2005 and will have some friends traveling with us.

Overall Experience
Very Informal and Very Rewarding

My husband and I try to go every Sunday to the feeding lot on 22nd St. It's a great way to volunteer. You can bring food, clothes or just a smile and lend a hand. If anyone out there is affliated with a restaurant and/or catering business, please consider donating your left-overs to this cause.

Overall Experience
Have been searching for a smaller agency that works with abused/ neglected children as they have a special place in my heart.

Giving Tree Outreach Program does great work. Enjoy being involved with the feeding program on Sunday nights, both cooking for the people & serving them. My husband & I are also involved with them by collecting items on their wish list during the month as we are able, and then taking them to Libby for the Grace Home. I enjoy a good shopping/bargain hunting challenge & it makes me very happy to be able to give to others this way. I am looking forward to getting to know some of the other volunteers & becoming more involved with this agency in any way that we can help.
