Needs From: HandsOn NWNC

We have a recycling warehouse that recycles Styrofoam to save the environment of products that do not break down. This center accepts both clean food service containers – cups, egg cartons, and take-out boxes – as well as packaging materials used for coolers and shipping fragile products.

Volunteers can assist on Mondays and Fridays with this process:

1. Verify that the material is clean and free from tape and labels.
2. Feed the material into the densifier. The foam is ground up, heated, and extruded.
3. Shape the extruded material into manageable bricklike ingots.
The ingots are then stacked on shipping pallets for shipping to manufacturers who will start the material on its next journey of usefulness. 

Duties include: Recycling foam located at 1218 Elon Place. Serving and cleaning at the HOPE Center, located at 360 West Gate City Blvd.

Hours are Monday - Friday 9 - 4:30. No weekends available. 

Join our team and help support our clients in the community. We are looking for a friendly volunteer to greet guests and answer phones. Other duties can include serving breakfast/lunch, light cleaning of restrooms and keeping our HOPE Center clean. Shifts are in 3-4 hour increments during weekdays between 9:00am - 5:00pm. Minimum 2 - 5 days a week. 

*Not eligible for Community Service Hours.

Volunteers are Welcome and Appreciated!

Every Saturday we provide "Breakfast 4 Our Friends". We serve a hot meal to working class and homeless people in Greensboro at The Hope Center. Job duties would include setting up, serving our friends and cleaning up once breakfast is over. 

Groups: We can only accommodate 4 people per group on any given Saturday. Call to discuss future opportunities that will allow larger groups. 

*Not eligible for Community Service Hours. Please call to discuss if Community Service hours are needed.
