    What to wear:

    Please be sure to wear sturdy, closed-toe sneakers or boots that fully enclose your feet (no Crocs, sandals, slides, etc.) and comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit dusty or dirty. Please dress modestly for your comfort, with no exposed midriffs, crop/tank tops, or clothing with explicit or offensive words or images.

    What to bring:

    We highly recommend bringing your own reusable water bottle! This will help us reduce our plastic waste. We provide lockers for our volunteers' small bags.

    Where to park:

    Our parking lot is tiny and used for receiving deliveries and unloading donations. Please park on Walnut St and walk to the center.
