Volunteers needed for Blankets For Moncton

14-12-2009
We need people who can do pickups (car or truck needed), others who can do deliveries (truck is best), some people who can sort donations (2-3 hours in a small group - some bring their children to help with this), some who can coordinate and phone call or email for donations, sponsorship, media interviews or calling the outreach organizations to find out what they need from us. Some other people are needed who can connect our services directly with the homeless and families themselves because of their connections with people living in poverty. There are also people needed who can help with branding, graphics, website, scheduling, and other stuff. I will need many more people to help with picking up donations from the drop off spots in Moncton and then driving the bags to Lighthouse Storage on Edinburgh Dr. I also need some printing, posters, business cards, thank you cards, handbills etc
I'm looking for a little of everything. What you can do to help depends where you think you fit the best. We need people who can do pickups (car or truck needed), others who can do deliveries (truck is best), some people who can sort donations (2-3 hours in a small group - some bring their children to help with this), some who can coordinate and phone call or email for donations, sponsorship, media interviews or calling the outreach organizations to find out what they need from us. Some other people are needed who can connect our services directly with the homeless and families themselves because of their connections with people living in poverty. There are also people needed who can help with branding, graphics, website, scheduling, and other stuff. Some people get involved as jack-of-all trades and others stick to just one thing. I will need many more people to help with picking up donations from the drop off spots in Moncton and then driving the bags to Lighthouse Storage on Edinburgh Dr. I also need some printing, posters, business cards, thank you cards, handbills etc What you could do all depends on where your skills or interest lies. Whenever you have spare time from now till the end of January, I could use your assistance. The warehouse is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so we are looking for volunteers day and night for the next 6 weeks. www.BlanketsForMoncton.com Nadine Nadine Lipton Phone - 506.961.0963 Email - BlanketsForMoncton@gmail.com Website - http://blanketsformoncton.com Twitter-http://twitter.com/Nadine_Lipton Facebook Group - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5870716247&ref=share
