Request for Proposal - New Name, Mission, Tag Line

Overview of Project

This request for proposal will initiate Phase One of a multi-phase project to rename, rebrand and market the Human Services Council and its programs. It is anticipated that larger and more significant phases will occur soon after Phase One concludes.  Future phases will include website updates, advertising, social media, public perception campaign and other efforts to cascade the information regarding our change.

JOIN THE HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL'S NEW PROGRAM - VOLUNTEERS IN MOTION

Picture hearing about a concert at Esther Short Park that you really want to go to, or looking in your kitchen and seeing that a grocery shopping trip is needed, or a doctor’s appointment that you really need to get taken care of . . . now think about not having any way of getting yourself there. That is the reality for over 3.5 million people every year. They lack transportation. . .

 

NONPROFIT PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: TREESONG NATURE AWARENESS & RETREAT CENTER

       Imagine driving to your volunteer position and pulling up to your parking spot, but instead of pavement, you see gravel. Instead of a huge brick building, you see a quaint red cabin surrounded by lush vegetation. Instead of the hustle and bustle of "city" life, you hear the trees rustling and the river flowing in front of you. Believe it or not, this is not just something you have to imagine. This place is real, and it’s TreeSong Nature Awareness and Retreat Center.

Join the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program and Be The Voice of Vulnerable and Frail Adults

Many frail and vulnerable residents cannot speak up for their needs and desires. Some residents are alone and have no close relatives or regular visitors to observe how they are being cared for or to advocate on their behalf. A designated volunteer Ombudsman gives long-distance caregivers in particular peace of mind by ensuring someone is looking out for their loved one’s needs. Volunteer with this great program!

Summer Volunteer Opportunities

Summer is a great time to take advantage of the warm weather and enjoy our beautiful Pacific Northwest, while giving back to our community at the same time.  Spending time with your grandkids? Many of these opportunities would be a great way to help instill the value and importance of volunteering so that they continue to share in the fun as they grow older and give back.
