Another volunteer opp

If you are in our area, here is another chance to help out,

Email I received:
AFL-CIO Community Services is preparing to distribute shoes for our Soles For Christ Shoe Program in August.  We are in need of volunteers and are asking if you would consider helping us out.  Last year over 1,000 pairs of shoes were given out to students so you can imagine how many hands it takes to get all those feet fitted with new shoes.  Please keep in mind that this is a very busy, hands-on volunteer job.  There will be hundreds of people here and you will need to be able to bend and be up and down a lot.  We will have a few positions available at the registration table for those who would like to volunteer but need to be seated.

The schedule to organize and give out shoes is as follows:

Friday, August 3
9am - 1pm  -   Set up and organize the shoes

Monday, August 6
8am - 4pm – Register, size, fit and distribute shoes

Tuesday, August 7
8am – 6pm – Register, size, fit and distribute shoes

If you would be willing to help us out during any of the above times, please email me with the times that will work for you.  If you prefer you can call me at the number below to schedule a time.  After I get everyone scheduled I will email a master work schedule and more information to all of the volunteers.

Thanks to all who have volunteered for us in the past and thanks in advance to those who may be considering volunteering.  I can guarantee you will see lots of smiles on faces as the kids get their new shoes.  It’s a wonderful program!!!
