Book Buddies is open to children in grades 1-8 who wish to practice their reading skills by reading out loud to cats in the shelter. Cats provide a non-judgmental and enthusiastic audience as they are soothed by the rhythmic sound of the children reading stories they bring from home.

Readers are welcome to read to the cats kennel side on our adoption floor after completing an application in our Better Impact system and watching a 5-minute orientation video. Reading will happen in scheduled shifts Monday through Friday between 2:30 and 4:00.

Due to increased numbers of seniors requiring meals on wheels, there is a need is for volunteers to deliver meals to seniors who are homebound due to illness, recovery, or disability. As a delivery driver, you are the direct contact between an isolated senior and Berks Encore. Volunteers use their own vehicles to pick up meals from one of six (6) sites, and generally be available at least one (1) day weekly or monthly Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:30 am and noon. Pick-up sites for home-delivered meal routes are located in Douglassville, Fleetwood, Mifflin, Reading, Strausstown, and Wernersville. Help is needed at all locations.
