Alex, our warehouse manager, is in need of folks to assist him with moving excess clothing and other materials around at the facility to get us organized. As many of you are aware, the warehouse is not climate controlled so please keep that in mind. To take a shift at the warehouse, you need to be able to lift 25lbs, tasks will include lifting, bending, climbing ladders, squatting and lots of physical work. When you sign up for a shift, I will send an email to let you know I’ve received your sign up. The address for the warehouse is

Tuesday donation processing and Reuse Shop support:
We have tagged every Tuesday for the remainder of the year as DONATION DAYS. The ask is for you to spend a few hours helping us when members of the community bring in their donations. As we carry a variety of items in our resale, we don’t know what will walk in the door. You would be supporting the Resale shop staff in receiving the items brought in, helping organize and identifying what has been donated. Between donations, the Staff will have projects in the Resale store to work on. This is supporting our location at 1927 MLK New Orleans.
Any questions we can answer regarding volunteering?
