The Material Resources warehouse has an ongoing need for volunteers to assist with the processing and quality control of health/hygiene kits as well as processing of additional donated items such as school kits, baby kits & layettes, or soaps and cleaning supplies. Seasonal help is needed with unloading of boxcars and trailers.
Volunteers typically stand, or sit depending on the job. Most work is done in a temperature controlled area. Modest, comfortable clothing and low-heel closed-toe shoes should be worn. The area allows for a maximum of 25 volunteers. Volunteers can be as young as 14. Youth, ages 14-17, need a signed permission slip (parental consent form). We welcome both individual volunteers as well as groups. Additional information about volunteering at the Brethren Service Center campus can be found at Volunteering at Brethren Service Center
Volunteer hours are between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Mon-Fri. The warehouse is located at the Brethren Service Center, 601 Main Street, New Windsor, Md.
