Volunteer at The Giving Factory

Suzanne and TeamPicher

Our work relies on adults and kids, coming together in their neighborhoods and in our warehouse- the Giving Factory. In your neigborhood, you can host a product drive or other event or work at community outreach.


In the Giving Factory, we're looking for volunteers of all ages to work a shift inspecting books, matching outfits, sorting and testing toys, stuffing backpacks, or shopping to fill orders for local boys and girls. We also have a "service path" for high school students and adults who want to volunteer regularly or help in our business office.
