Room Refreshing is an indirect volunteer opportunity at Families Moving Forward that greatly benefits our agency by helping to prepare a clean, comfortable, and inviting space for families to call their temporary home.
Room Refreshers are responsible for cleaning and setting up a room for a new family entering shelter. All cleaning supplies and set up materials are provided as well as instructions on how to set up the room. Volunteers must be able to be on their feet for up to two hours and transport items from storage to rooms.
This opportunity is for individuals and small groups that have availability on Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday afternoons once a week.
If interested please contact Katy Lambert, Volunteer Engagement Associate, at Katy@fmfnc.org or (919) 683-5878 x 22.
