Active Volunteer Opportunities
Park Road participates directly in the following programs:
Roof Above
Lunches at Roof Above
Roof Above has decided to discontinue the hot lunch program on Saturdays. Instead, they proposed to us the opportunity to prepare and serve supper on Saturday evenings every other month. Park Road will pay for the meal from our mission budget, as we have been doing, and the shelter will purchase the food and have it on hand. Our volunteers will arrive at the men’s shelter at 3:30 in the afternoon to prepare the meal, with supper served at 5p, and we would be able to leave before 6p. We will maintain the schedule of helping on the second Saturday, every other month

Park Road also has these volunteer opportunities at various times of the year. Please call the church office for more details on how you can become involved:
QC Family Tree - Periodically, we will assist with this Hospitality House in the Enderly Park area of Charlotte by providing and serving a community meal and/or helping with Household projects such as painting.
Community Garden Team
Caring Church Companions (formerly ICU) – Volunteer teams are created, as needed, to provide basic assistance to church members (from home maintenance to financial advice). Volunteers are placed on a list to be called when a need arises.
PRBC Needlers- A group of church members who share their knitting and sewing skills to create items for the needy, especially for babies and the elderly. Prayer shawls are presented to members of the church and the community who are experiencing difficult situations.
