Want to volunteer at the warehouse this week?

We’d love more folks on shifts that already have a few people signed up—bigger projects get done faster together! Have a large group? Email [email protected] to get connected.

If your only option is a quieter shift, we still need you. Every hand helps. The front desk is the exception: we need someone there whenever we are open.

URGENT NEED:
Shift Leaders - EMAIL [email protected]
THIS IS HUGE. We desperately need a few more Shift Leaders for both warehouse and donation/intake shifts. If you’re willing to volunteer with Day One Relief semi-regularly, consider stepping into this role! We’ll have you shadow a current leader so you feel confident, and then you’ll be ready to go.

Still seeking: social media, fundraising, and volunteer coordination support

Huge thank you to all who have joined our efforts already! Hope to see you out there this week.
