VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD PLOVER COLLECTION CENTER This is just a partial listing of the duties of the various volunteer opportunities. Please remember that this is a Christ-centered ministry. For more information, please email us at: NCW OCC Volunteer positions: Greeter: This position greets the people
delivering shoeboxes and directs them to the proper person. The greeter may
also need to help the delivery person fill out the paperwork. This volunteer
also helps unload and move shoebox gifts. Food Server:
This position sets out the food brought by the Ladies Serving Team,
sets out the snack items provided, makes sure the food and snacks are kept
fully stocked, and, if necessary, serves the other people working during the
shift. This position is not responsible for preparing the food unless the
person filling this position volunteers to do so for that particular shift. A
gift for hospitality is an asset for this position. Carton Packers: These
positions are responsible for packing shoeboxes into the shipping cartons. It is an absolute imperative that the count (of the number
of shoeboxes packed into each carton) is accurate. These positions
require good organization, ability to conceptualize spatial relationships and
maximize the available space, and attention to detail. Patience is definitely
a virtue for these positions!!! If you are not good at 3d puzzles or math, please consider
a different volunteer task. Receivers: These positions are responsible for
counting the shoeboxes as they come in, keeping individual deliveries together
in one spot, and keeping an accurate count of how many shoeboxes came in with
each delivery. These positions will also triage the shoeboxes (check rubber
bands, check for proper wrapping) to ensure the boxes are ready to be packed
into cartons. ALL SHOEBOX DELIVERIES
ARE COUNTED AT LEAST THREE TIMES to ensure accuracy. Unloaders: These
positions are responsible for helping unload deliveries of shoeboxes. It is
necessary to remember to place each delivery in its designated spot, and not
to mix up deliveries. REMINDERS FOR VOLUNTEERS Please sign up for specific shifts. Arrive 15 minutes ahead earlier than your shift start
time. The first half hour of each shift will be devoted to prayer,
learning the roles of volunteers, training, Q & A, and catch up on work
from prior shifts. The last half hour of each shift will be for catch up,
correcting mistakes, and cleanup. Volunteers may be shifted to different tasks as needed. Volunteers are encouraged to fellowship with each other
and with the guests bringing shoebox gifts. While things can get hectic, remember to relax and have
fun while working! God is in control, and things will work out! While Operation Christmas Child is a family-oriented
ministry, the Collection Center environment itself is not always conducive to
child-oriented tasks, or to taking care of children during the shift. We
encourage you to make child care arrangements whenever possible. If you want
or need to bring your child with you, please: DISCUSS
IT FIRST with the Coordinator; DO NOT allow your child to help with Collection Center duties unless pre-arranged with the Coordinator - this will be determined on an individual basis according to age, etc. Bring along enough activities to keep them happily occupied A meal prepared by volunteers will be available during
each shift. Volunteers are encouraged to brings
snacks/beverages to share during their shift. |
