Volunteers will be volunteering in the Giving Factory warehouse. Volunteers are encouraged to wear closed-toe shoes and layered clothing they do not mind getting dirty. Volunteers work in stations to inspect, sort and package donations alongside other individuals and groups. Your volunteer shift will begin with an orientation led by a Cradles to Crayons staff member and end with a wrap-up and an opportunity to learn the number of children you impacted during your shift and to take group pictures. Cradles to Crayons has wheelchair accessibility and can provide reasonable accommodations for volunteers who might need it. Transportation will be provided. The bus will depart SXU by 12:30 p.m. (this location is approximately 45 to 50 minutes away). RSVP on The Den. 

Product donations are highly recommended in order to sustain our operating model, but not required! Since we accept clothing up to adult size medium the idea is that volunteers don’t need to go out and buy clothes, but they can look through their closets and donate any clothes they may not wear anymore. 

 This event requires individuals to pre-register through the organization. All volunteers will be required to complete the pre-registration form prior to stepping onto the bus: 

• Registration code: a0R3b00000aPRDm
