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.
Volunteers focus on behind-the-scenes efforts such as sorting and folding clothing, unloading deliveries, organizing inventory, and packing food boxes for distribution.
Tasks Descriptions:
- Sorting and Folding Clothing/ Unloading Deliveries/Organizing Inventory: Center for the Works of Mercy is blessed to receive donations, and need help unloading vehicles that, and sort through items afterwards. Items may be clothing or food. Volunteers are needed to go through items to sort through what is good, and what cannot be given away (food may be expired, clothing may have holes, etc...). Then, these items need to be placed with items similar, such as the type of food, or the size or type of clothing.
- Packing Food Boxes: To help get clients in and out quickly, we need volunteers to pack boxes of non-perishable food. This ensures no one ever leaves empty-handed.
If you are signed for the morning shift and would like to stay longer, please let a staff member know. We are happy to accommodate!
Center for the Works of Mercy accommodates large volunteer groups. We do ask that you contact Micheal Sweppy at sweppym@CCSEM.org at least 14 days before the day your group would like to volunteer.
