Volunteers will meet in Bradley Hall lobby at 9:30 am and walk over to Emmaus House (18 Abercorn Street, Savannah, GA 31401). Emmaus House Staff will help volunteers become familiar with the clothing organization process. It is recommended volunteers wear comfortable shoes to move and walk-in, as well as a SCAD SERVE t-shirt or other SCAD apparel.
Registration: In addition to registering through SCAD.galaxydigital, Emmaus House requires volunteers to also register through their volunteer portal which lists all opportunities. Their system will offer volunteers instructional emails beyond the information listed here.
Once you create an account, you will be able to view and register: www.unitedministriessavannah.org/volunteer. All volunteers must sign a waiver (attached) and be in good health the day of the event. We frequently serve some of the most vulnerable populations and will continue to work together with our friends at nonprofit agencies to care for them in the best way possible, including masking up and avoiding participation if anyone is ill.
