FAQ:
Where do I park?
When you pull up to the gate, please press the call button and tell them
your name to be buzzed in. Our staff has a list of all approved volunteers
scheduled for the day. If your name is not on the list, you will not be
permitted to enter. We kindly ask that you respect our rules and regulations,
as they are in place to ensure the safety and privacy of our guests.
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable, modest clothing that allows you to move
easily while maintaining a respectful appearance. We kindly ask that volunteers
refrain from wearing sweatpants, spaghetti strap tops, low-cut tops or crop
tops, short shorts or skirts, opened toe shoes, and headphones. If you have
long hair, we also ask that you tie it back before handling any food.
How do I log my hours?
All volunteers must clock in and out. The check-in station is located directly
to the left whenever you walk through the front doors. If you experience any
issues, please sign in on the clipboard. You can also track your hours using
the Causer – Get Connected volunteer app.
