Step I: Choose Your Shift
Why Our Volunteers Return to the Work
Hear from the neighbors, corporate groups, and families who lend their hands to our local drives.
"Sorting backpacks for the back-to-school drive was incredible. Seeing thousands of local kids start the school year prepared gives our whole team a true sense of purpose."
"Delivering senior care packages during the holidays has become a family tradition. The smiles on our elderly neighbors' faces make every single shift unforgettable."
"The shift structure is so organized! You show up, get clear instructions immediately, and know your time is directly serving families right here in Houston."

Volunteer FAQ
What is the minimum age to volunteer?
Volunteers must be at least 12 years of age. Those aged 12 to 15 must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Volunteers aged 16 and older may serve independently with a signed parent or guardian waiver.
Do you sign off on court-ordered or school service hours?
Yes. We certify school community service hours and non-violent court-ordered hours. Please notify the shift leader at check-in so that your tracking sheet may be signed upon completion of your shift.
What should I wear to my volunteer shift?
Closed-toe shoes, such as sneakers or work boots, are strictly required for all warehouse shifts. We recommend comfortable, breathable clothing that you do not mind getting slightly dusty.
Are background checks required?
Standard warehouse packing shifts do not require a background check. Roles involving direct mobile delivery to seniors or home visits, however, do require a basic online background check.
