We could not do this work without our dedicated volunteers. We are so excited to serve our neighbors alongside you!
Whether it is sorting or distributing food to our neighbors, or organizing our clothing closet, or taking the time to get to know our neighborsthere is a place for you to get involved here at The Storehouse.
This section is for creating the team and registering the team for a shift.
If you have an existing team, you will follow the same steps to register for a shift.
TSCC allows groups to come volunteer as a team. The group can be made up of family members, coworkers, friends, or others.
We do not guarantee that your team members will be doing the same task or working in the same area during the shift.
A team can reserve up to 10 spots per shift at Joseph’s Coat Clothing Closet clothes sorting sessions, The Academy teacher assistant sessions and select Seven Loaves bagging sessions once a month. Up to 20 spots per shift during our Seven Loaves food distributions can be reserved. For groups larger than 20, you will have to split into two teams on different shifts.
Everyone on the team must create an account and register for the shift. You do not need to know everyone’s names to create a team & reserve spots. Contact volunteer@thestorehousecc.org for more information.
IMPORTANT – Unfilled reserved spots will be released 14 calendar days prior to the shift date.
