Volunteering at Baker Industries
Volunteering at Baker Industries is a very fulfilling way to give of your time. Our volunteers are very special and help us in many ways. They:
- Help to build social skills through conversations with our employees. Your presence helps to stimulate our workers
and adds another dimension to their day. For many of them, we are their social world as well as the work world.
- Help to build the self esteem of our employees by being a mentor.
- Help to defray the cost of our production, which enables us to be cost-effective for our customers.
- Help to organize and run our various annual fundraising events, such as our Spring Gala, Golf Invitational,
Fall Thank You Party and others.
If you can spare a few hours once a week, once a month or on an occasional basis, please consider becoming a Baker
Volunteer. For more information call Lee Kennedy or Louise Baker at 610-296-9795 or contact them at
lee@bakerindustries.org or louise@bakerindustries.org.

Volunteering at Baker Industries is a most unusal experience. We sit side by side with Baker employees and work with them on jobs. It gives us a great chance to interact. We hear their problems, frustrations and sometimes life histories. This positive give and take is a great relief valve for the workers. However, we sometimes think that we receive as much or more from the experience than those we are trying to help.
