Phone Station Volunteer Tutorial:

Thank you for volunteering at the phone station. Your role is an important one, as you are both the voice of the front desk and the person responsible for distributing essential in-kind items to clients. Please review the following instructions carefully:

1. Greeting Clients and Distributing In-Kind Donations

You are responsible for handing out in-kind items such as:

Underwear
Socks
Ponchos
Reading glasses (readers)

Procedure:

Greet each client warmly.
Ask the client for their first and last name.
Before distributing an item, confirm they have not already received one today.
Clients are allowed one item per day from this category (e.g., one pair of socks or one pair of underwear).
After giving the item, place a check mark in the box beside the item on the tracking sheet to record the distribution.

2. Answering the Phone

Answer with a friendly and professional greeting. Example:
“Thank you for calling St. John Center, this is [Your Name]. How can I help you?”
If the caller asks to speak with a specific client:
- Place the caller on hold.
- Use the paging system to page the client by name.
- If the client approaches the desk, transfer the call to the client phone station.

3. Privacy and Confidentiality

Client privacy is critical. Please remember:

Never confirm or deny whether someone is a client.
Never share if a client has checked in for the day.
Never give out any mail information over the phone.

If a caller is asking about mail:

“I’m sorry, but we are unable to share mail information over the phone. The client must come in person with a photo ID to check their mail.”

4. Referrals and Information Requests

If someone calls asking for information about Sheehan Landing or seeking a referral, please provide them with the contact for Common Assessment:

“You can reach Common Assessment at 502-637-2337 for referrals and assistance.”

If You’re Unsure or Need Help

Please ask a staff member for assistance if you’re ever unsure about a situation or how to respond.

Thank you for your compassion and service. Your presence at the phone station helps ensure a respectful and supportive experience for every person who walks through our doors.

- Once you find the client’s name, click the box next to it to sign them in.

“Find gratitude in your life story. Wake up every morning and say to yourself, “I made it from where I started, and I am so proud of that.” When we do this, we bless ourselves and feed ourselves with the love required for us to flourish and keep going no matter where we come from or what we have been through.” -Cleo Wade

Mail Sorting & Filing:

Purpose: To ensure mail is sorted and filed efficiently so it’s easy to locate when needed.

Step 1: Sort Mail Alphabetically by Last Name

Gather all new mail and sort in the file tray.
Look at the name on each envelope – focus on the last name.
Then, within each pile, sort the mail in strict alphabetical order:
- Example:
  - Anderson
  - Brown
  - Carter
  - Davis

️ Step 2: Locate the Correct File Folder

Go to the file cabinet labeled for mail or client files.
Open the drawer that matches the last name’s first letter.
- For example, “Brown” would go in the “B” section.
Look through the hanging foldersalphabetically until you find the correctlast name.
- Some clients may share a last name—verify with first name or middle initial if needed.

Step 3: File the Mail

Once you locate the right folder, place the mail neatly inside in alphabetical order.
Do not bend, fold, or force mail into overstuffed folders—ask for help if it’s too full.
Close the folder and double-check that you didn’t misfile it.

Tips for Success

Always file by last name, even if the envelope only shows a first name (ask a staff member if unsure).
Keep the drawers neat.
Please see Keesha or a staff member with any questions.
