Join Us to Volunteer & Donate During Our Thanksgiving Week of Giving! We’re preparing for a huge Thanksgiving week, and we need your help! We’re offering extended hours at our Montgomery County Warehouse from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Join us to support families in need by passing out holiday meals, organizing donations, and delivering Thanksgiving kits to clients with disabilities or those without transportation.
SSL hours are available, and children over 10 can participate with a parent or guardian.
AGE RESTRICTION: This is a great opportunity for children aged 10 and above to participate. Children aged 10-15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and if they arrive without one, their parent or guardian will be contacted. Volunteers aged 16 and above can participate independently without the presence of a parent or guardian.
Physical ability: While some of these tasks are physically strenuous, we have plenty of opportunities for people with physical limitations or other restrictions, and our warehouse is wheelchair accessible.
How to prepare: Volunteers should arrive wearing closed-toed shoes and clothing they can move around in and get dirty( NO CROCS ALLOWED).
We encourage you to sign up for any shift, even if you can't stay for the entire time. Upon arrival, simply inform the site lead so our team can accommodate your schedule.
*To get to our warehouse for your report time, type "4924 Wyaconda Rd, North Bethesda, MD" into your GPS. This will take you directly to the entrance of the parking lot. After you pull into the lot, please look for the yellow parking spots immediately to your right. You can park in any of the yellow parking spots in the lot. Parking is not permitted in front of Dogtopia and against the fence. To find our warehouse entrance, look for signs for "Dogtopia" and then keep walking; our warehouse is to the left of Dogtopia, directly around the corner. When you arrive please walk up the black ramp to the resource center, look for a staff person, and let them know you're there to volunteer.
