We have gained so many new volunteer families over the past few months (and quite a few just this week!) who are passionate about serving our community. Welcome, y’all!!
Since we have had to make the switch to hosting all of our volunteer activities remotely, we wanted to provide a quick primer for you newbies on how we're running our #HelpingFromHome program (and a reminder for our veteran volunteers):
Sign up for the activities you'd like to participate in with our SignUp Genius links (found in the weekly/monthly email and on our website calendar).
On Thursday afternoon or Friday morning each week, you'll receive an email with pick up instructions and detailed information about how to do the specific activity. This email is very important as it contains directions from our nonprofit partners about how they need us to complete the activity - please make sure to read the email carefully.
Material pick up occurs Friday afternoon - Sunday evening (these hours are changing a bit starting in January - stay tuned) from my garage in SW Austin. This is a contactless pickup.
All completed activities, unless otherwise noted, are due back by the following Sunday. Please make note of Erika’s phone # (there is a sign in the garage) and text when you’ve dropped off.
We want to see photos of your families hard at work! Take pics and send them to us! Email to erika@austinallies.org, post to our Facebook group, or post on your own social media and tag @austinallies!
Thank you all for hanging in there with us as we've made this enormous change to our volunteer model. We're so grateful that y'all have stuck around with us and continue to support our nonprofit partners by #HelpingFromHome. And we’re thrilled to welcome our new families - we can’t wait to get y’all started volunteering with us!
