Thanks for your interest in volunteering at Feeding the Foothills!
We require everyone to attend orientation before attending any warehouse shifts or mobile distributions.
This shift will take place at our warehouse, and will include a tour of our facility, an overview of our organization and programs, information about our volunteer opportunities, scheduling, and next steps to volunteer.
- Please make sure to wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. We cannot allow anyone into the building without closed-toe shoes.
- Masks and face coverings are optional as of May 15, 2022. Volunteers are still more than welcome to wear them if they prefer and extra masks are available at our warehouse.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit dirty (just in case). Our warehouse is only partially temperature-controlled, so dress according to the weather forecast for the day.
This shift will likely involve standing and occasional lifting for extended periods of time, but we are able and eager to accommodate any needs that we can. Let us know ahead of time if you think this might pose a problem for you so we can make sure there is a role suited to your needs available.
At the end of the shift, staff will take a quick photo of you that will be attached to your volunteer profile in our database. We won't post it anywhere without you permission, it's just to help our staff learn and remember your name.
Shifts close ten minutes after the scheduled start time. If you arrive more than ten minutes after the scheduled start time, we will kindly ask you to reschedule for a different orientation date so that you are able to attend the full orientation.
Directions and Parking:
Please park in the lot on your left as you enter our complex, next to the Feeding the Foothills sign. Once parked, please walk along the crosswalk, across our loading dock, and wait for your shift leader at the green picnic tables or in the lobby.
Map apps like Google Maps like to bring folks to our rear door instead of the volunteer entrance, so if it tries to take you past the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store into a lot between two buildings, turn around and make a left at the triangular island where Industrial Ave splits. Our parking lot will be the first lot on your left. See map below. Lines in pink are driving directions, yellow is where to go once you've parked.
