CLERICAL WORK
There are several opportunities to help in serving our clients. Some of the work can be done from home and includes:
- Data Entry of Case Records
- Research and/or write Grants
- Research for client eligibility
- Research into Property Records for Landlord Information
PUBLICITY & PUBLIC RELATIONS
- Opportunities exist to write articles about our activities for our parish bulletin, the local newspaper and the Atlanta Archdiocesan Bulletin
- Opportunities exist to engage with other organizations in the community that do similar work. We work closely with many groups in Hall County such as United Way, Salvation Army, First Baptist Church, Gateway Domestic Violence Center and more. We support them and receive support from them by having member(s) attend community meetings and events.
