What is your youth policy?
There are different age restrictions depending up on the type of event or work that is being completed. We will work with you and provide you the requirements as we schedule your event. Please note: minor children will need to be supervised by a parent/guardian or adult chaperone and must have signed authorization to participate.
What if I need a letter to document my hours?
If you need a generic form for a class or instructor:
- Please bring the form with you on the day that you arrive.
- Please pre-fill our contact information and a description of what you worked on during your volunteer shift. At the end of your shift, the Volunteer Coordinator will sign your form.
- If you do not have a form that was provided to you, we have a standard form that you can fill in with the above information.
Formal Letter of Verification - we will need the following information:
- The dates and times of your shifts: please note we will verify those with our sign-in records.
- Provide a short written description of what you worked on and what you learned about hunger and poverty in the process.
- Please do not wait until the day your letter is needed as we may not be able to process your request in time.
