At ECS, we love having our volunteers on-site! But, we also know it is sometimes not possible due to scheduling limitations. Diapers and wipes and classroom supplies are an ongoing need, here at ECS. One of the best ways to directly impact our children and families is by hosting a drive to collect these essential items. Some of the most successful drives have been hosted by businesses and agencies concerned about the health and well-being of members of their local community. Please contact us for more information on this rewarding opportunity.

Volunteer: Sort clothing

The clothing ministry program of Presbyterian Social Ministries collects new and gently used clothing. Volunteers then come in and sort them by gender, size, type, and season. After they are sorted and boxed accordingly, we distribute them back out to direct-service partner agencies. Typical recipients are schools, churches, and a variety of other nonprofit agencies that give the clothes away directly to those in need.

Donated clothes require daily attention and volunteers are critical to keeping the process moving along smoothly.

We process over 300,000 articles of clothing per year, most of them new. Much of this success is driven by the volunteers that give their time throughout the year getting clothes ready for distribution.

 How to be prepared:

When volunteering, wear comfortable clothes and sneakers. Sometimes volunteers may be asked to lift some boxes. The clothes need to be sorted, sized, and grouped by gender and season and boxed up. Specific instructions will be given so you’ll know exactly what, where, and how to do the clothing. There is ice/water onsite and a refrigerator/microwave available to use should you like to bring a snack to eat while you’re here.

At this time, we can only accommodate small groups (more than two (2) people) with pre-approval. We are in greatest need of volunteers that can commit to a regular schedule. Time is flexible: come for 1-2-3 hours, all day, every other week - whatever suits your schedule and personal goal as the volunteer. Unfortunately, we are not open on weekends.

Minors are welcome when accompanied by adult supervision.

Work is indoors.

Work is episodic. Some days we may have a lot to sort through, other days we may have very little. We will inform you if there is not any need to come in if you are scheduled.

Please note: We will contact you before your first visit to confirm times and availability. Please do not arrive at our facility before a confirmation from us.

Thank you for considering our agency and we look forward to your visit.
