    Description

    Sort and Process Donations in Boston

    Volunteer groups are essential to helping us process the hundreds of clothing donations we receive in a timely manner. When you arrive at our Distribution Center, your group will receive a tour and a short orientation. You will then work together to sort clothing by size, gender, and clothing type, which will help our team distribute clothing to children in need. Registration is required.

    Our Boston Distribution Center offers a weekly opportunity for individual volunteers on Thursdays from 10-12 PM. Groups are welcome to apply for weekday opportunities during business hours. A minimum of 5 volunteers is required to sign up for a volunteer shift at this location. Maximum 15 people per volunteer group.
