Volunteer Opportunities

We are glad to accept help from those wishing to participate as volunteers.  Just a few of the roles we need filled include:

SEAMSTRESS  We accept the donation of used bath towels to be cut and made into hand towels and washcloths.  Directions will be provided for proper sizing and finishing.

LAUNDRY  All towels and wash cloths will need to laundered and sanitized with bleach prior to packing.  We prefer this to be a non-smoking environment.

SHOPPING  As we are very glad to accept gift cards for discount stores to purchase hygiene kit items, we would be happy to have the assistance of others in providing security and transparency of the use of gift cards.  Hopefully, this will give donors an added sense of security that every penny of their gift card donations is used directly on items required for the hygiene kits.

DROP-OFF LOCATIONS  If you would be willing to host a drop-off location at your home or work we would love to have your help.  All drop-off locations must be willing and able to transport items to the ZIP Code region of 85901.  Keep in mind that it is often not too difficult to find someone making the drive.  We would love to have one in Phoenix and Tucson, also smaller towns of Safford, Flagstaff, etc.  The drop-off host in Mesa is glad to meet up with you to bring your items to 85901.

INFORMATION  Currently there is only one person taking calls for information.  If you have the time and inclination to allow people to call you for more information we could use one or two more people.

FLYERS  IF you can do nothing else but distribute flyers we would love to have your help.  This project will not be successful without hundreds, if not thousands of people helping.  Just spread the word.  We will upload a printable flyer soon.  Please SHARE us on Facebook and by email.

COPIES  If you are willing to make copies of flyers that would reduce the expense burden of our budget, which is $0.00.  Of course, there have been expenses that have been paid for copies, travel, shipping, etc.  If a few people can help share the burden of expenses it would help so much.  The truth is, this is run by a group of individuals, mostly retired and on fixed incomes.  Every bit of help is much appreciated.

KIT ASSEMBLY  Once we have collected the items for the kits, we will need a small army to come and help assemble them properly.  This is a fantastic family activity.  Let's plan on a potluck!

Thanks for your consideration in helping with this project.  We cannot do this without your help.
