    Description

    Warehouse Volunteer (Tuesdays and/or Thursdays, Anytime between 10am-2pm)

    Humble Design is a nonprofit organization run by a small, but mighty, team of staff and volunteers that transforms empty houses into homes for those coming out of homelessness.

    We do this through a cycle of collaboration. Our crew of dedicated volunteers and designers use donated furniture and household goods that we have gathered and organized in our warehouse, to personalize homes based on our clients’ unique needs and preferences.

    Our services help to provide families with sanctuary, stability, and hope -- critical elements in ending the revolving door of homelessness.

    Working alongside our team, you'll help sort and organize the intake and organization of donations, assemble furniture, or frame artwork and prepare supplies and furnishings for future home decos.

    Days and Times: Tuesdays or Thursdays, anytime between 10:00am-2:00pm

    Location: Humble Design Warehouse, 431 W. Pershing Road, Chicago
