On Thursday, September 11, join AmeriCorps Alums DC as we recognize 9/11 National Day of Service. This year, we will be volunteering as support staff for the annual 9/11 Day Meal Pack, helping volunteers pack thousands of meals for neighbors in need.

As a volunteer, you will help make sure the day runs smoothly in one of the following roles:

Table Captains: As a Table Captain, you will take charge of one or two assembly lines, guiding a team of Meal Pack Volunteers. You will train volunteers as they arrive, troubleshoot, answer questions throughout the shift, and keep energy levels and spirits high!

Heavy Lifters/Runners: As a Heavy Lifter, you will play a vital role in maintaining a steady flow of supplies at each packing station, ensuring the meal-packing process runs smoothly and efficiently. Before volunteering for this role, it is very important to note that this role requires that you can lift and carry 50 lbs repeatedly for about 90 minutes.

Guest Services Teams: As a member of the Guest Services Teams, you will play a key role in welcoming, checking in, directing and assisting Meal Pack and/or Support Staff Volunteers as they arrive at the event, answering questions and troubleshooting challenges.
Set-Up and Break Down Support: As a member of the set-up or break down team, you will help get the space ready pre-event, or to clean up post-event.

Volunteers must be available for the full 11:30AM - 4:00PM shift. A boxed lunch will be provided. Please see the FAQs regarding arrival time, what to bring, what to wear, and prohibited items.

If you have any questions, please contact Salome, Service Co-Chair, at salome@americorpsalumsdc.org.
