    Together with a friend, I want to volunteer to do the “Clothing Sort”, but your website does not appear to have a way to volunteer for this activity specifically. We are both working and only have weekends to participate in volunteer activity that work with our schedules. Please e-mail me back about the oportunities that exist on weekends for this activity. Thanks

    Yesterday, several coworkers and I volunteered at the clothing sort. We had a wonderful time and there are several of us that would love to do it again.

    If anyone is looking for a fun thing to do, this is it! We had a great time!
