Volunteer: MALL (Mobility Aids Lending Library) Wish ListMALL Needs Space!
Mobility Aids Lending Library is a Bloomington-based 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that collects donated medical equipment and distributes it to those in need. MALL provides an average of 7 clients per week with wheelchairs, shower chairs, walkers, and other equipment free of charge -- and the need is only increasing. MALL needs room to grow! Thanks to so many of our community members who have donated devices, we have outgrown our rented room in the basement of the First Christian Church. Sadly, with our current limited space, we often have to turn down larger items such as Hoyer lifts and hospital beds, and we can only accept a few power wheelchairs and mobility scooters at a time. But with your help, we can change this! MALL is seeking a donated or low-cost office space that is at least 800 ft.² to accommodate equipment storage and a small office/client meeting area. We would be open to a space in a shopping mall, strip mall, office building, climate-controlled warehouse, etc. However, a self-storage facility wouldn’t work for our needs. Our office must be centrally located and near a bus line as many of our clients and volunteers do not drive. Downtown, campus, or the College Mall area would be ideal. We strongly prefer a space on the first floor with no elevator required for access. If possible, we need space in a building with a parking lot or ample street parking nearby. If anyone has suggestions for such a space — and for funding/sponsorship for our growth, of course – please contact us at MALLbloomington@gmail.com. Thank you!

Volunteer: Volunteer to assist immigrants with practice speaking EnglishRefugee Support Network, a local, all-volunteer 501C3 established in 2017, helps newly arrived families that fled violence in their home country. They are now refugees or asylum seekers who want to restart their lives in our community with most being families with small children. The women are the main focus of our organization since most husbands are working and many mothers remain at home, feeling very isolated and caring for children. We are looking for individuals who would be willing to meet, perhaps once a week, with a new arrival, typically a woman and children. Initially, we meet in their home, have a cup of tea and help them speak English. As trust builds, our friends may ask for advice on schools, where to shop and how to navigate the bus system. This can be a team of people from your circle of friends, faith groups, etc. but individuals are welcome. RSN remains a resource to these families, linking them to various partner agencies (furniture, food pantry, clothing, medical, etc), while many times helping them with transportation. RSN will meet with potential volunteers first, and then introduce them to a family needing this support. If you would like to learn more about being a "Special Friend" one of our wonderful new families, please visit our website to complete a volunteer application at: bloomingtonrefugees.org. Families needing support are from Syria, Afghanistan, Columbia, Venezuela, Iraq, S. Sudan, Congo, and others. Many have found this Special Friend relationship to be "heart-opening" work, leading to a deeper appreciation of themselves and their new friends. Thank you for your kindness.

Volunteer: Foster Animals through the ShelterIt has never been easier to help us save lives. In 2024, foster families took 56% of the animals that came through our shelter into their homes. Our foster team provided socialization, training, love and consistency to well over 1,800 animals in our community. Help us make that number even bigger! Fostering is important because it helps reduce overcrowding in shelters and opens up space for another animal to be saved. It also helps prepare animals for adoption by giving them a chance to live in a home where they can fully express their personality, work to overcome fears, or recover from trauma. Join the Animal Shelter’s foster network now by completing the online application, orientation, and quiz! You will then be added to the foster opportunity update list. You then choose when to raise your hand if and when you are ready to take on a new foster …or two. This is a family-friendly opportunity!

Volunteer: Adopt-A-Drain Volunteers
Needed Now More Than Ever!
The City of Bloomington Utilities Department (CBU) invites residents to participate in a family-friendly volunteer program, Adopt-a-Drain.
In this partnership, residents help maintain storm drains to reduce flood risk and increase water quality. Volunteers commit to inspecting certain storm drains on a regular basis -- especially before heavy rains and snow melt -- to keep them from becoming clogged with grass clippings, leaves, snow/ice, trash, and other debris. Prospective Adopt-a-Drain volunteers may learn more about the program and apply to participate at https://bloomington.in.gov/utilities/stormwater/adopt-a-drain. With over 12,000 storm drains within City limits, activating resident assistance to clear storm drains will help CBU reduce flood risk and increase water quality. Volunteers inspect their assigned storm drain(s) at least once per month, clear them when needed, and complete a brief Adopt-a-Drain report (online) on a quarterly basis. Volunteers may usually opt to care for a drain or drains in a location convenient to them. Brief newsletters, including related stormwater tips, will be sent monthly. To file a concern about a storm drain, residents may complete a uReport at bloomington.in.gov/ureport. GET STARTED TODAY! For more information or assistance signing up, contact City of Bloomington Utilities, Attn: Kriste Lindberg, Stormwater Education Specialist, stormwater@bloomington.in.gov , or phone (812) 349-3617.

Volunteer: Animal Foster Care - Provide a Temporary Home for Cats and DogsThe Brown County Humane Society needs volunteers to provide temporary care for animals in need. BCHS places cats and dogs in foster homes when they need a little extra care: a few days to recover from surgery; a few weeks to grow up; some time to receive medical treatment; a place to rest away from the noise and activity at the shelter. For some animals, time away from the shelter is what gives them the best chance. Because our foster animals need a little extra care, we work carefully with our volunteers to find the right fit for their home and schedule, and they receive plenty of support. Our foster volunteers are a crucial part of our highly successful adoption program. Interested volunteers should fill out an application at https://www.bchumane.org/fostering/
