Help us celebrate Focus: HOPE’s 55th birthday at our annual Eleanor’s March4HOPE! We have a fun filled day of activities for the whole family including music, bounce houses, food, face painting, raffles, photobooths and more!
VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY
Join us as a guest and a volunteer as we pack boxes of food for our participants in the Food for Seniors Program. Volunteers will work together on an assembly line, cutting stock and then placing canned foods into Focus: HOPE boxes as they roll by. Volunteers may also unwrap and unbox pallets of food, collapse boxes for recycling and dispose of plastic waste. These tasks require moderate levels of activity, bending and lifting.
Come pack some boxes and enjoy all the festivities Eleanor’s March4HOPE has to offer!
HOW TO REGISTER:
If you have already completed a digital waiver this calendar year of 2023, scroll to the bottom of the page to register for an open time slot. Otherwise, click “Respond” at the top or bottom of the page, log in, complete the waiver qualification, and then return to this page to see the available volunteer shifts.
Minors may not complete waivers digitally, so the system will not allow a minor to sign up to volunteer. Minors may not volunteer without a guardian present. Once on-site for the selected volunteer event, guardians may register their minors by signing a printed waiver on their behalf. For packing you must be age 13 or older to participate.
To register a team or organization, or if you have any questions, please contact volunteer@focushope.edu or call 313-494-4270 for options.
