Volunteer events at the warehouse are the foundation of our Beds for Kids program. They include activities like packing bedtime bags, creating book packages, making blankets, or sorting donations. Come as an individual, or invite friends or colleagues for a fun time of giving back in your community!

2) Volunteers often like to bring donations with them, either through a collection of new twin bedding and pillows from family, friends, and colleagues, or simply by looking around the house for gently used books or blankets. Click here for details.
Attire: Volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes. We suggest wearing purple, green, grey or your corporate shirt. Please dress comfortably and for the weather as we will be in a warehouse setting with limited heating/cooling. OHAAT t-shirts are available for purchase at the warehouse.
