I Support the Girls-Whidbey Island Warehouse Volunteer

I Support the Girls-Whidbey Island is in need of one or two volunteer warehouse workers. Please do not let the term “warehouse” frighten you…it is a 12 x 15 outbuilding on church property in Oak Harbor. It has light, heat, a big window for the summer months and music.

Position description:

They can volunteer one or two weeks out of the month. Three days each week. But only if there is something to do, i.e. fill requests, put donations/deliveries away. They are not expected to be at the warehouse if there is nothing to do.

They must be able to fill requests from organizations, help with our annual school packing party and get everything ready for events. Help is available if needed.

They must be at the warehouse when representatives from organizations come to pick up their requests. Occasionally there might be a necessary delivery no further south on the island than Greenbank where you would meet up with another volunteer who will take it down to Langley and you, in turn, would pick up donations from that person and bring them back to the warehouse. Most of the time occasional deliveries are only to the Opportunity Council.

If someone only wants to volunteer 1 week out of the month, then we will need two people.

They must be able to get down and pull things out from under the bottom shelf.

They must be able to step up on a step stool (10 inches), reach up and pull things down off the top shelf.

They must be able to count and know the alphabet to keep things organized so if they cannot do the job, someone else can step in and know where everything is.

Unless something drastic happens, there will always be back up and help.

Please, if this sounds like a great way to meet and work with an amazing team of volunteers, to help fill some time you didn’t know what to do with, and to experience the extreme gratification of helping people in your community, then please contact Kate Mistler at [email protected].
