What Should I Wear To My Volunteer Shift?
To ensure your safety and comfort during your volunteer experience, be sure to wear closed-toed shoes at all our volunteer sites. Additionally, we recommend selecting clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty.
If you’re planning to volunteer at The Market, we provide volunteers with a apron that covers the top half of their body.
