Volunteer: Warehouse Delivery Driver

We need drivers to help us pick up and deliver the many donations we receive.  Come join our awesome team of drivers who help us with this important job!

We have a new gate at our south entrance on our main campus!  As you pull up to the gate, push the intercom button on the call box to tell a staff member your name.  If no one answers, use the Adult Shelter on-call phone number (509-853-4343) posted near the intercom.  It will take a moment to verify your volunteer account, and then you will be buzzed in. 

Please report to the second warehouse on the left, which is brown and has the large DONATIONS sign on the front. Thank you!
