Volunteer with us

Serve alongside us.

Individuals, families, and groups sort donations, serve meals, encourage guests, and keep the Mission humming. We sign up volunteers through Virtuous Volunteer (VOMO), our online volunteer hub, so it's easy to find opportunities, see schedules, and stay informed in one place.

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:4

Why Virtuous Volunteer

Serving made simple, organized, and meaningful.

Virtuous Volunteer helps us honor our mission by caring well for those who serve. It lets you:

  • View and sign up for volunteer opportunities online
  • See real-time schedules and openings
  • Receive reminders and important updates
  • Track your volunteer involvement
  • Stay connected with our mission

Recurring volunteers: if you serve with us on a regular basis, your spot is already reserved. If you don't see your usual time after you create an account, don't worry. Becky has saved your spot and will add you to the calendar once you register. Each volunteer needs their own account.

Volunteer Q&A

Questions about volunteering

Having trouble creating your account, signing up, or seeing your schedule? Call Becky at 712-255-1769 or send us a message.

Do I need an account to volunteer?

Yes. All volunteers are asked to create an account in Virtuous Volunteer so we can communicate clearly, manage schedules, and ensure a safe and organized experience.

I've volunteered before. Do I need to sign up again?

Yes. Even returning volunteers need to create an account in the new system.

Can I volunteer with a friend or group?

Absolutely! Each volunteer should have their own account, but you can coordinate sign-ups for the same opportunity and shift.

How will I know when I'm scheduled?

You can view your schedule anytime by logging into your account. You'll also receive email reminders before your shift.

What if I need to cancel?

Log in to your account and remove yourself from the shift as soon as possible so another volunteer can serve.

We're grateful for your heart to serve.

Thank you for being part of what God is doing through our mission!
