United Way’s Family Resource Exchange events lessen the heavy burden of homelessness by connecting families to housing and providing other specific resources families need. Services include financial support programs and public benefits for families, child care resources, on-the-spot job interviews, haircuts, new shoes and a food bank.
Emerging Leaders will help prepare supplies for the upcoming Family Resource Exchange. There is a giveaway area at the event, which has large quantities of free groceries, hygiene materials, clothes, shoes, and school supplies. It is a big haul from the United Way team to get everything ready and set-up for the event, which is why we need the support of volunteers to prep everything. Tasks will include (1) consolidating and organizing giveaways into boxes of like-items, (2) assembling and organizing event signage, (3) organizing supplies by event area, (4) creating giveaway bags for service providers, (5) moving supplies for easy load-out.
