Volunteer With SOS!
Over 2,000 volunteers support the SOS mission by sorting medical supplies to prepare them to be redistributed where needed around the world. WE COULD NOT complete our mission to enhance global health without the extraordinary efforts of our volunteers.
If you are an individual looking for a volunteer activity, or a school group, corporate or church group wanting to volunteer together, we would love to have you! Our maximum capacity for groups is 20 individuals.

What To Expect When You Volunteer
- Our volunteers sort or pack items to prepare them to be distributed internationally or locally. This is an ongoing process, so each group's assigned task will be based on where we are in our process and which needs are most urgent.
- You will be working in an active warehouse. Dress comfortably!
- Allergy Alert: we do have two very sweet cats who roam the warehouse and offices. While you won't have to have direct contact with them, it is difficult to keep them completely separated from the volunteer areas.
- Tasks involve standing and minimal lifting. If accommodations are needed, please reach out to Sarah to discuss how your needs can be met.
