Volunteer Opportunities

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 large school, corporate or church group wanting to volunteer together, we would love to have you. Our maximum capacity for groups is 30 individuals. VOLUNTEERS MUST WEAR MASKS AND PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Should We Wear?
A: Our warehouse is partially climate controlled. We invite you to dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes. You may be looking small print on supplies – those who wear “reader/cheaters” consider bringing your glasses.

Q: Can Children Volunteer at SOS?
A: Due to the nature of the materials that volunteers sort (e.g. sharp objects, medical supplies), please be aware that we have a minimum age requirement of 16 years of age. For children that wish to support the mission of SOS, we welcome the opportunity provide a tour and develop a classroom, club or service project that is fun and educational.
