    Description

    Help keep our donations neat and organized!

    DWC accepts donations Monday through Friday, while serving hundreds of folks experiencing or transitioning away from homelessness every week.

    We're in need of volunteers to help fold clothing and organize shelves while staff accept and sort donated items. The sooner we're able to process and put away in-kind donations such as clothing and home goods, the sooner we can get it out to the folks that need it!

    What to Expect:

    • Folding clothing
    • Organizing shelves of donated items such as clothing and toiletries
    • Physical demands are about the same as cleaning out a closet at home - there are chairs if you prefer to sit while you work, and you're welcome to take breaks as needed

    This opportunity is available on Mondays and Thursdays from 10:00 to 12:00 PST.

    What's Required:

    • Volunteers must be over the age of 18
    • Volunteers must complete a New Volunteer Orientation

    Learn more about opportunities with DWC or fill out an application HERE.
