    End Clothing Insecurity - Become a Partner Order Specialist Volunteer with Cradles to Crayons!

    Help us prepare orders of essential items for our partners to pick up free of charge!

    A partner order specialist volunteer is responsible for being the first point of contact for agencies who have scheduled a pick-up of the order they have placed with Cradles to Crayons. In between pick-ups, the secondary responsibility will include packing orders in the queue to be ready for pick-up at a later date. This position may include these responsibilities:

    • Answering the door as partners arrive for their orders, locating the orders in warehouse and helping to load the partner’s vehicles.
    • Informing the partner that they can also browse and select items from the "partner shelf", which is stocked with various essential items not found in the typical core product offerings at C2C.
    • "Shopping" for our partner orders - preparing items for pickup by our partners.
    • This job requires standing, bending, and lifting up to 20 pounds.

    This is a regular volunteer position that commits to once weekly or twice monthly volunteering at the same day and time. In order to become a regular volunteer, you will need to complete 3 standard volunteer shifts first. If you indicate interest via Idealist, we will contact you with next steps to get started.
