Description:
Interfaith Works has long-term volunteer opportunities available at our Interfaith Clothing Center in Rockville, MD and Upcounty Interfaith Clothing Center in Gaithersburg, MD.
The ICCs are seeking volunteers to sort, organize and display clothing, accept donations and assist clients. Short-term and long-term volunteers, groups or individuals, hourly or daily commitments are welcomed and appreciated. Students may receive community service credit.
The ICCs are seeking schools, businesses, congregations and service groups to sponsor drives of specific much-needed items (new or used children's books, diapers, new or used winter apparel, new socks and underwear, new school supplies, new toys, and new layette items for newborn babies).
Thousands of individuals, businesses, schools, camps, service organizations and congregations donate time and goods, which makes our program possible. Donations of clothing, shoes, and household items are distributed to its clients during shopping hours throughout the week. Clients select and receive free of charge, the items they need and want. Interfaith Works assists over 54,000 low-income and homeless families and individuals yearly in this way. By providing basic necessities free of charge we enable our clients to use their scarce financial resources for other pressing needs, including rent, food, transportation, and healthcare.
The centers also distribute backpacks and new school supplies to students every August, and provide layettes to new mothers, because all children in our community deserve to have the basics.
Volunteers sort donated clothing and hosewares, stock shelves and racks and assist donors and clients, helping provide these basic necessities to our neighbors in need.
Responsibilities vary depending on time commitment and length of service.
Opportunities are available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday as well as evenings on Thursdays.
Volunteers under the age of 18 should come with an adult supervisor.
