This is a great opportunity for a youth group/club/team to volunteer for a one-time event. There is no experience required, only the ability to follow "day of" instructions. In preparation for our Fair Trade Rug Event we need a team of approximately 8 people to unload rugs from large van and place them on pallets for display.
