Part-time Office Support for a local charity

Part-time Office Support for a local charity

Community Projects for Seniors (CPfS) needs an organized, friendly person to commit to providing administrative support for our charity’s programs, projects, people, and events. This is a permanent, long-term, part-time position.

Our charitable organization has provided meal & social programs for low-income senior citizens, since 1986. We currently serve 15,000+ seniors in 50 cities of S.E. Wisconsin.

Can you imagine how a poor senior feels when we arrive at their door with a hot, ready-to-eat meal right on Christmas Day? Can you feel the sense of relief, in response to being handed a big bag of necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissue, bar soap, a scrubbie sponge, and much more)? Can you envision the smiles & fun we bring to lonely seniors, when we hold a bingo or music party?

You can help us fight loneliness and social isolation, and reduce the stress caused by poverty, by working behind the scenes in our office.

You are an ideal candidate for this job if:

You enjoy working towards the common goal of helping senior citizens.

You are a good typist with a working knowledge of WORD and EXCEL.

You are a good communicator who is comfortable talking on the phone.

You are detail-oriented and can work independently.

You enjoy organizing tasks and projects, and assisting your co-workers and supervisors.
