The shelter is in West Denver. This is a confidential location that is given out to the volunteers after registering due to the nature of the facility.  Both male & female volunteers are welcome to assist at this event.

SUMMARY:Clothing Donation Sorting for Jeffco Action Center-2nd time!
DESCRIPTION:Clothing Donation Sorting for Jeffco Action Center\, Sat.\, March 8th\, 9:15AM-12:15PM. (This event is now on Waiting List status.  If you sign up you will receive the automated response but will only be contacted with the details if there is a volunteer cancellation.) 6 Volunteers are needed to help sort the donated clothing for the busy week ahead.  This is our second time helping them at this event this year.  During the week people in need shop with volunteer shoppers in their donation “store” that is set up by sizes and types of clothing just like a regular store.  They are told how many items they can receive at the store and are given a time limit for their shopping. We have helped with this portion of their center’s activities before and really enjoyed the experience!! The Action Center’s mission is to provide an immediate response to basic human needs and promote pathways to self-sufficiency for Jefferson County residents and the homeless.  They are located in Lakewood. We used to assist them but they discontinued their Saturday shifts a few years ago so it’s been over 5 years since we’ve been able to help them with this so I scheduled a shift that filled quickly in February plus this shift as our volunteers want to assist here!  I’m really happy that we are able to assist again as our volunteers always loved this event!
