Can you help us pick up a few pieces of furniture and bagged/boxed items and deliver it to Value Village as a donation for a neighbour?
We need two volunteers with at least one large vehicle to pick up a shelving unit with two shelves, a coffee table, 4 boxes and 5 bags of other items for donation from an apartment building lobby in Abbotsford and deliver to Value Village on South Fraser Way as a donation. Note: you will need to be physically able to share the load of carrying the shelving unit, coffee table and other boxes/bags of items.
How this works:
Once you’ve registered, we’ll provide you with details on how to contact the neighbour. Please contact the neighbour 24-48 hours before pick up to confirm details such where to access the lobby of the building, the best time for pick up, and further instructions.
Contact:
Please contact Bethany at (BethanyV@uwlm.ca) if you have questions.
Time commitment: 2 hours
This is a one-time commitment to fulfill an immediate need.
