PWH is in need of volunteers to help with our pick-ups in our box truck and van! This volunteer opportunity does involve heavy lifting, loading and unloading the truck (not just driving). Volunteers are paired together or with a staff member for pick-ups, and these are typically from healthcare facilities. Not interested in driving? We are also looking for volunteers to be the "co-pilot" to help with the loading and unloading! You do not need a special drivers license for our vehicles but do need a clean driving record to be added to our insurance. This opportunity does need to be scheduled in advance- if you have regular availability that is always helpful! Pick-ups typically require a half day or full day depending on where they are located and take place Monday through Friday. To start, please head to our VolunteerHub page to create an account and register for orientation. Once orientation is complete, you will be able to register for all events! Please join us!
