Participants will assist with organizing and preparing a large donation of toys and essential items that will be shared with families across Houston. Items are currently located at the Houston Police Department downtown facility and will be sorted, boxed, and prepared for transport. Participants will also assist with loading the boxes onto a truck and unloading them at a nearby downtown warehouse where the items will be stored and distributed through local community organizations.
This effort will help move thousands of toys and essential goods that will be shared with children and families throughout the city. Activities include sorting toys, packing boxes, lifting and moving items, and assisting with loading and unloading trucks as part of a coordinated community distribution effort.
The opportunity will take place Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM, with two 4-hour shifts available each day. Participants may choose either shift or both. A brief orientation will take place at the beginning of each shift to review the process and safety guidelines. Water and snacks will be provided.
Comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes are recommended, as activities involve light to moderate lifting and warehouse-style work.
