Volunteer To Help Others
|
Thank you for considering the volunteer opportunities offered by Welcome Warehouse, as described below.
As you will see, we offer a warehouse of opportunities for you to lend a hand to a neighbor. If one of
these volunteer opportunities sparks an interest, or if you would like additional information, you may
complete our online
Volunteer Application Form
or contact our Director of Volunteers. Please allow three to four days for a response, as the
coordinator is also a volunteer.

Warehouse Shop (located within the Indian Run United Methodist Church, 6305 Brand Road)
- Our Warehouse Shop is a free store which is open on the 2nd & 4th Saturdays of the month,
and staffed by volunteers from 8:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Duties include greeting and checking in,
assisting families to select clothing, checking-out and bagging items, tracking inventory,
and re-stocking shelves.
- We receive donations on the first Saturday of the month, and depend on volunteers to greet
donors, accept donations, write tax-receipts, and transport donated items to our Donations Depot.

Warehouse Storage (Donations Depot) (located at 7032 Hospital Drive)
Due to the overwhelming generosity of our community, the Warehouse Shop cannot accommodate all of our donations.
Therefore, we sort donations in a space in the Avery Square Plaza. Volunteer opportunities abound to help with
this ongoing process of sorting donations. Groups can help in sorting and organizing donations during our
regularly scheduled times as well as by appointment throughout the week.

Furniture Match
Assist the Furniture Coordinator to pickup donated items from the donor’s residence, and deliver items to the
residence of the family in need. Volunteers must be able to lift and carry heavy furniture. If you have a
truck, your help would be greatly appreciated! We invite high school sports teams and men’s groups to help
with this program.

Adopt-a-family 2011 Program
This program matches families in need of assistance for Christmas, with sponsors seeking an opportunity to
experience the joy of giving! Volunteers are needed to recruit sponsors, call families to obtain sizes and
wish lists, shop for families and write thank-you notes to sponsors. There are many opportunities to get
involved in this wonderful outreach.

Translators
Often times Welcome Warehouse needs help translating some of our documents into other languages such as
Spanish and Arabic, as well as communicating with families that are being assisted. If you are fluent in
English and another language, this may be an opportunity for you to help out in your community.
