Volunteer Opportunity: Adopt a Working Family – Intake & Distribution Support

United Way of the Lakeshore is seeking friendly, organized volunteers to assist with donation intake and family pick-up for our Adopt a Working Family Program. These volunteers play a vital role in ensuring gifts and donations are received, organized, and distributed smoothly to families during the holiday season.

Volunteers will help check in donations and gifts from donors/adopters, assist families as they arrive for pick-up, and help move items in and out of the building as needed. This is a rewarding opportunity to directly support local families.

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to assist with light to moderate lifting

  • Comfortable standing, walking, and assisting with general event flow

  • Able to interact professionally and compassionately with donors and families

Available Shifts (2 volunteers needed per shift):

  • 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM

Wednesday, December 17

  • 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

  • 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Volunteers will receive on-site guidance and instructions from United Way staff. This is a meaningful opportunity to support dignity, organization, and holiday cheer for families in our community.

Thank you for helping make this program a success for both our donors and the families we serve.
