Please arrive at the scheduled volunteer check-in time listed in your confirmation email or volunteer schedule. Arrival times vary depending on the event and your assignment. Volunteers helping with setup may be asked to arrive earlier.

Volunteer shifts vary by event. Community meal distributions, Community Healing Days, and special events have different schedules. Your confirmation will include your expected start and end times. Please plan to remain through your assigned shift, including cleanup when applicable.

Report to the volunteer check-in area and sign in. You will receive your assignment, any necessary instructions, and a volunteer badge or name tag. Please check in with the On-Site Volunteer Lead before beginning your duties. Volunteer badges must be returned before leaving.

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes suitable for standing, walking, and handling supplies. Avoid open-toe shoes. Because many of our events take place outdoors, we recommend dressing in layers during colder months. Additional attire instructions will be shared when necessary.

All volunteers must sign in and sign out to ensure their hours are accurately recorded. If you need a verification letter, school form, or agency documentation completed, please notify us in advance and submit the required information. Hours are verified based on actual attendance and completed service, not the number of hours originally scheduled.
