Become one of our heroes!
Housekeeping heroes help us out at the end of the week and make sure our work spaces are clean, organized, and ready for the next week of shifts.
At the end of each week, we deep clean the volunteer work areas to make sure that the warehouse is all set for Monday's shifts. Staff will assist you and provide any tools and training necessary for your tasks.
Some tasks you may be asked to help with during this shift include:
- Cleaning and sanitizing work tables and surfaces
- Sweeping floors
- Restocking volunteer refrigerator and snack stash
- Organizing products, paperwork, nametags, and other light admin duties
- Scanning or making copies
- Sterilizing small work equipment like scissors, tape dispensers, scales
- Breaking down extra boxes
- Tidying and organizing the sorting area
- And much more!
We know this may not be the most glamorous shift, but we couldn't function without it. It's a quick way to cement yourself as a rock-star volunteer and earn a permanent place in our hearts. We always bring good music along and rock out while we're cleaning.
We require that everyone wear closed-toe shoes at all times at all volunteer opportunities. As of May 15, 2022, masks and face coverings are optional at our warehouse. Volunteers are welcome to wear them if they prefer and extras are available at the warehouse. The warehouse varies in temperature according to the weather, so please dress accordingly. We encourage you to wear layers as some of the shifts are physical in nature and you may warm up as the shift goes on.
Please only sign up for dates and times that you are available. If you need to cancel a shift, we require at least 24 hours notice so we have sufficient time to find someone to cover for your absence.
Shifts close ten minutes after the scheduled start time. In order to provide adequate instruction and safety information to all volunteers, we cannot admit folks who arrive later than ten minutes past the scheduled start time.
