Wow, thank you for your thorough list! So far I have volunteered us for some mornings at the cool food pantry. I have my feelers out for other opportunities. Let me know if anything else pops up! Thanks for your time and energy! Amy

A representative from Allendale did pick up our TV yesterday afternoon. I had an inquiry from Boys and Girls Club this afternoon, too, but they were too late. Wish I would have had two tv's to give away!. Many thanks for your help with finding an agency who needed our donation. Gail

I am interested in finding out what professional volunteer opportunities there are at the Career Resource Center. I am a Human Resource/Recruiting Leader for Deloitte with 20 years of experience. I don't have a lot of time to donate- but was wondering if something might meet my schedule. In particular I would be able to review resumes, conduct mock interviews with people, and discuss transition tips. Please let me know if you can provide me with any information. Thank you Julie

Thank you for your help with Jake this past summer. He volunteered at food pantry in Waukegan and I think it was an eye opening and beneficial experience for all. Betsy

Wow- what a great selection. Thank you so much, I will definitely be calling some of these places! Kelsey

Yes, Kids' Korner at the courthouse would love to be involved as a service site again this year in the "Open Doors:Volunteer Service" project on April 22-24. We have had more students this past summer volunteering for us here at Kids' Korner and it has worked out very well, so we would like to become even better known to more students from Lake Forest. Thanks so much, Roseanne, Kids Korner

There are two types of Volunteer Opportunities with LFOLA. One type is with Land Management and then the other type is the education volunteer (VOLES). We are really hurting for VOLES right now – so any assistance you can provide would be awesome! Rekha, VOLES, LFOLA
