Volunteering

Volunteers improve the quality of life of people and our planet by helping to sort, identify, and package critical medical supplies that will be shipped to communities in need around the world.

We invite groups and individuals to volunteer at our Greater Atlanta, San Francisco Bay, and New York City Metropolitan Areas.

We may occasionally screen both staff and volunteers with a hand-held thermometer.

Social distancing, requiring a minimum of 6 feet of separation between people at all times, will be strictly enforced.

Volunteers will be required to wear masks and gloves, which will be provided upon arrival, at all times during their volunteer shift.

Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the volunteer areas.

Floors will be marked with signage to direct traffic patterns, and work stations will be marked to allow for appropriate spacing between volunteers while working.

Individuals who have been in a hospital or a medical facility recently will be required to wait 14 days from that time before volunteering with us.
