Join us at Catholic Charities Center for the Works of Mercy, where you can make a meaningful impact in the Detroit community by embodying the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.
For this shift, you will work in either the food pantry, or in the clothing closet.
Task Descriptions:
- Food Pantry: Clients come with appointments, and volunteers will shop with the clients, providing company and instructions (if needed). Each client will be given a shop cart, and guide to how many items to grab from each selection of food and hygiene products. At the end of the appointment, volunteers may need to bag, or box up, and weigh the items for the client.
- The Clothing Closet: Clients come with appointments and volunteers are needed to shop with the clients as they chose clothing. Volunteers will also chart was given away during their shifts. At the end of the end appointment, Volunteers bag up any items the clients decided to take. If the Clothing Closet is running low on an item, the volunteers will collect more clothing from the storage area and place them in their respective spots in the Clothing Closet.
