Volunteer with FCE

Hello! Thank you for volunteering with Fountain. Please see the calendar below for upcoming days and times to volunteer!

​

We require our volunteers to be at least 14 years old with parental consent and have the ability to lift 20 pounds comfortably. If you need community service hours please bring your service form each day you volunteer. 

Volunteer Activities

What to expect when volunteer with Fountain!

​

🏠 Sorting Household Items

Help us sort donated household essentials — including kitchenware, linens, toiletries, and cleaning supplies — into organized categories. You'll inspect items for quality, separate them by type, and prepare them for distribution to families in need. No heavy lifting required, just a keen eye and a helpful spirit!

​

📦 Sorting Amazon Goods

Assist with receiving and sorting bulk goods donated through Amazon. You'll unbox shipments, verify items against packing lists, and sort products by category (hygiene, school supplies, household goods, etc.) so they're ready for storage or immediate distribution. A great task for detail-oriented helpers!

​

🥫 Packing Dry Foods

Join the team in assembling dry food packages for community members. You'll measure, portion, and pack items such as rice, pasta, canned goods, cereals, and other non-perishable staples into family-sized bags or boxes. This is a fun, hands-on activity — perfect for groups and first-time volunteers!

​

🗂️ Putting Away & Organizing Donations

Help us keep our storage space neat and accessible! You'll shelve, label, and organize incoming donations so that items are easy to locate when it's time for distribution. This task may involve light lifting and moving boxes, so wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes.
