    Description

    We need your strong muscles to help us move lots of heavy things before and after our amazing events - tables, racks worth of chairs, water coolers, A-boards, canopies, and more - down and up, and maybe up more stairs! Events are typically at the Greenwood Senior Center or Phinney Center locations in the Phinney-Greenwood neighborhood of (NW) Seattle.

    Upcoming events include, but are not limited to:

    • Winter Festival
    • move food donations (think canned goods): Sat & Sun, 12/6-7

    No training needed, and you can absolutely bring a strong friend or two. Volunteering at most events will get you free admission to the event (note: some events are 21+, no exceptions), and helping to move stuff during the clean up shift will get you double credit for anyone needing service hours.

    You can either sign up directly for a shift (if listed above), or fill out our volunteer application and indication you're interested in helping to "schlep/haul". We'll send you an email about once a month with upcoming muscle-needed opportunities.

    Yep, you can skip the gym that day. We'll write you a note :)
