Activities
Fall and Winter Opportunities
Home Weatherization: Weatherization is our most popular volunteer activity, especially for groups such as clubs, classes, and church groups. After a brief training session, volunteers accompany staff members into clients’ homes to install energy-saving materials such as clear vinyl window coverings and weatherstrip for doors.
Preparation of Weatherization Kits: Volunteers meet at EnergyCare to assemble kits full of energy-saving weatherization materials. These kits are then distributed by EnergyCare to able-bodied people throughout the fall and winter.
Spring and Summer Opportunities
Air Conditioner Pickup: After a brief orientation session, volunteers pick up new and used window air conditioners from EnergyCare donors around the St. Louis area. This activity requires the commitment of a few hours each week during the late spring and summer months. Must have your own transportation.
Year-round Opportunities
Blanket Drives: Ideal for clubs, classes, offices and churches, sponsoring a blanket drive is a great way to get involved. EnergyCare can help you organize a blanket drive to collect new or like-new blankets that we will then distribute to our low-income elderly and ill clients.
Maintenance: Help EnergyCare maintain its buildings and grounds. Possible activities include cleaning, yard work, painting and minor repairs.
Office Work: Throughout the year, assistance is needed with preparing mailings of newsletter and fundraising material to benefit EnergyCare and those we serve.
