Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call 484-640-2792 or email info@northwestmutualaidcollective.org and ask about the roles on the volunteer page. The warehouse does not accept mail, so ask there for the mailing address..
What to expect
The site lists four kinds of help: warehouse work that includes receiving and storing donated food, bag packing, office tasks, and driving meals to homes. Warehouse work can include lifting up to 50 pounds. The site does not describe shifts, training or a first day, so ask the group what a first visit looks like.
Tips for your first visit
- Driving roles need a valid driver's license and up-to-date car insurance.
- Warehouse roles can include lifting up to 50 pounds, so check that it fits you.
- Call or email first, since the warehouse does not take mail and the site does not describe how new volunteers start.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Roles and contact details are public, but the site gives no sign-up steps, shift times, training or orientation, so the way in is unclear..
