Tips for your holiday drive
Put the time in the slot name
Rename each shift with its day and time, like "Saturday Dec 14, 9–11 AM sorting", so volunteers know exactly what they’re signing up for.
Keep shifts short
Two-hour shifts are easier to say yes to in December, and more people get to take part.
List the donations you actually need
Food banks often have a most-needed list. Name items like peanut butter or diapers instead of "food".
Check the rules for children
Many food banks and warehouses have a minimum age for volunteers. Say so in the event details.
Common questions
Can volunteers sign up without an account?
Yes. They open the link, tap a shift and type their name.
Can I print a sign-up sheet for the lobby?
Yes. Use the printable version for a bulletin board or welcome table.
Does it work for a giving tree or adopt-a-family?
Yes. Rename the items to the gifts or families you need covered, and each one can be claimed once.
