Adopt a Working Family – Volunteer Support Team
Description:
Help spread holiday cheer to local working families! Volunteers are needed to support United Way of the Lakeshore’s Adopt a Working Family program throughout November and December. This program connects community donors with working families in need of extra help during the holidays.
There are many ways to get involved—volunteers may:
-
Deliver gifts to families in the community.
-
Pick up gifts from adopters and bring them to our office.
-
Assist adopters in the office by checking in gifts and labeling them for delivery or pickup.
-
Sort and organize wrapping supplies and stocking stuffers.
-
Call families to confirm pickup and delivery details.
-
Help with other tasks as needed to ensure a smooth and joyful holiday season for all!
When you sign up, you’re expressing your interest in helping with the program. A member of our staff will reach out beginning in November to assign roles and schedule volunteer shifts based on your availability and interests.
Requirements & Notes:
-
Volunteers should have a friendly, compassionate attitude and be comfortable working with the public.
-
If you are able to drive (for pickups and deliveries), please note that in the Comments/notes section when signing up.
-
Please also share any accommodations or accessibility needs so we can provide a positive volunteer experience.
