VOLUNTEERING AND DONATIONS (BENEVITY) – Ben Manny & Annette Bachmeier, Co-chairs

ATTENTION OREGON RETIREES:
WANT TO HELP WITH OREGON VACCINATIONS?The Hillsboro Medical Clinic is looking for volunteers to help in non-clinical roles, for their drive through COVID vaccination clinic at the Hillsboro Hops Stadium.

Thanks to IRO Volunteer & Donation Committee Oregon team member Rose Friedlund for volunteering to help at the vaccination clinic!

Prospective volunteers need to commit to a minimum of three (3) shifts, since the clinic incurs background check and other expenses on-boarding each volunteer. One key consideration is the shifts are five (5) hours long and it is all on your feet! Not ideal for everyone.

Click here to complete a volunteer application. For more information about the program please click here.

FINDING YOUR HOURS AND DONATIONS ON BENEVITY
Your submitted hours and donations can be found from your Benevity “My Profile” page. This should be the first page you land on after sign-in.

If you land on your Dashboard page after login, a ‘View Profile’ link is found under your name.
