The large range of opportunities allows for all ages and skill sets to participate!
Current Service Opportunities at IPC
Discover service and giving opportunities through IPC that make a difference at our church and in our community. All volunteers with Children or Youth must follow the requirements of the Child & Youth Protection Policy.
Join us for IPC's Annual Harvest for Hunger campaign to help fill our neighbor's table and lift up our community. Starting Sunday, October 20, you can pick up a Harvest for Hunger grocery bag at IPC. The list of food and hygiene items (our most needed items) is printed on the bag and will also be available on the website. Please return your filled bags by Sunday, November 24, which is Harvest for Hunger Dedication Day.
Volunteer with your family or a group to provide evening meals for the women and children staying at First Light. IPC will be providing evening meals each night for the week of November 3-9.
Sign up to join IPC for this year’s Habitat for Humanity Build. We are helping to build a home in Bessemer for the Baylor family alongside fellow Birmingham-area churches in the Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley. At least 15 IPC volunteers are needed on November 16. IPC is the only volunteer group serving this day.
Registration Info
Register by November 8 using our registration link. No construction experience is necessary, but you must be at least 14 years old.
Provide Sack Lunches
If swinging a hammer isn’t your jam, sign up to provide sack lunches for our 15 Habitat Volunteers.
STAIR 3.0 is an incredible program that continues to yield amazing results! This bi-weekly program offers one-on-one tutoring sessions to 3rd-graders at Hayes K-8 to help improve their literacy skills. In the fall, we will seek volunteers for Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:15 pm to 4:15 pm. You can sign up for either day or both days.
If you're looking to make a difference in a child's life, consider signing up for STAIR 3.0. Students genuinely look forward to these encounters, and word is spreading—more children are clamoring to know more about this empowering experience! For further information, please contact Becky Wright, Children’s Fresh Air Farm Director.
