Overview Help distribute clothing, breakfast, & hygiene items. Volunteers act as personal shoppers so 50-70 individuals can receive fresh clothing, toiletry and other needs OR assist with coffee/mocha and a breakfast sandwich. We will see where the assistance is needed at the time of arrival. Volunteers distribute hygiene items and clothing from TACO's clothing room to the unhoused and other community members in need (only volunteers are allowed in the clothing room). Volunteers will walk back and forth from the clothing room to the table where clients are waiting to distribute the items (approximately 10 feet). At the end of the shift, volunteers help straighten up the clothing room. OR help distribute coffee/mocha/breakfast sandwiches. Team cleanup is always appreciated.
