Frequently Asked Questions

How do I volunteer?

Choose your city above, and sign up to volunteer on your city’s Volunteer Opportunities Calendar, where you can search by category or date range and times.

Do I need a volunteer waiver?

Our volunteer waiver is part of the online registration process. For most volunteer opportunities, no other forms are needed.

Can I bring a group?

Yes! Whether you are coming with your company, church, family, or friends, we would love to have your group join us in serving our neighbors in need. For assistance making group reservations, contact [email protected], and be sure to mention your city.

Can I just show up when I want to volunteer instead of signing up?
No, due to limited space and Covid-19 social distancing guidelines, you must reserve your spot on our online calendar. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate walk-in volunteers at this time.
Can I get my volunteer hours verified?

Yes, please bring your verification forms with you to every volunteer shift, and check in with your volunteer supervisor at the end of the shift. Make sure to sign in and out at our kiosk in order to have your hours tracked.

What is the volunteer age requirement?

Most volunteer opportunities are available for ages 14 and up. We also have opportunities for families with children 8 years or older, and some limited opportunities for children as young as 7 years old. For volunteers under 18, we do require a parent or guardian be present.
