Giving Tuesday
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES WILL RESUME SOON.
First Sort
The medical supplies we receive from hospitals, doctor's offices, individuals, etc. come to us in bins, bags, and boxes that are often randomly put together and usually relatively unorganized. We need your help sorting through these donations and making sure each item finds a home in one of our 150+ categorized boxes. Don't worry if you know next to nothing about medical supplies - we will be here to help you every step of the way.
Enjoy the company of friends, snack on pizza and pop, all while giving back to your community.
Before you sign up for your first sort, please take a few minutes to review our Sorting 101 video and get a good idea of what you'll be doing!

Second Sort
After the first sorters get all the donations sorted into the correct categories, we like to have experienced professionals take a second look at each full box to make sure everything belongs in that category and to ensure the accuracy of our inventory lists. Once the box is sorted through a second time, the second sorters package it up and get it ready to be sent to the warehouse.

Private Sort
Private groups are welcome to schedule a sorting party outside of our regular sorting hours. You'll work with our Community Coordinator to schedule a time that works best for your group. You can perform a first sort or a second sort, whichever fits the group's abilities best. Either way, you're sure to get a great experience out of it and become closer as a group.
School Groups
Looking for a hands-on learning experience where your students can hone their critical thinking, organizational, and communication skills? Look no further! Schedule a private sort with your class or school group to get out of the classroom and get some hands on experience by giving back to your community.
Corporate Team Building
Get out of the office for a few hours and build team synergy while giving back. Our sorting parties offer a constructive experience that will improve group morale, strengthen problem solving and leadership skills, and boost efficiency and productivity. Strengthen your team or welcome new-comers in a unique way that's sure to bring smiles.
Upcoming Events
We host some pretty fun events all year long and we often need volunteers to help with set-up, clean-up, and everything in between. Check out the upcoming events below and let us know if you're interested in helping out.
