Distribute Food at Sustainable Fellwood Apartments- Student shift- Oglethorpe Team (Savannah)

Thank you for volunteering to help distribute boxes of food to residents and community members of the Sustainable Fellwood Apartments. Your time and effort is going to benefit so many people.   

On Saturday, March 20 from 10 am to 1 pm we will need 30 student volunteers to help distribute the cardboard boxes with non-perishable items to residents in the apartment complex. Volunteers will work in teams with a team leader to distribute the boxes to the homes of residents. Volunteers must be able to lift and carry at least 25 pounds, the full weight of a donation box.    

All volunteers must be in good health, must pass their daily SCAD health screening and temperature check, and must wear a mask and socially distance themselves through the event. If you are feeling unwell prior to the event, do not come. Instead, seek medical assistance and contact SERVE Adviser, Lauren Slaydon (912.247.8917)  

 Transportation to the Sustainable Fellwood Apartment complex will be available from 3 locations starting to load at 9 am.   

1. Montgomery House Parking Garage  

2. Oglethorpe House Bus Stop  

3. Hive Parking Garage 

    

Volunteers may park in the SCAD lot and take the SCAD Transportation to the volunteer site. The shift you register for will be the team you are on.  There is a maximum of 10 persons per bus. Please select the shift with your corresponding bus stop.  This is the same bus you will return to campus in later in the day.   

 Buses will depart at 9:30 am promptly to bring volunteers to the site. All volunteers will meet at the check in area near the bus stop to sign their liability waiver, confirm attendance, and receive your event t-shirt. We ask that all volunteers wear the provided shirt, so please wear something that is easy to change when you arrive.   

 In addition to the provided t-shirt, we ask that all volunteers wear clothing that is suitable for this event. This means closed toe shoes and pants or shorts you can move, bend and lift in. Those who arrive in appropriately dressed for this event will not be able to participate.  Your safety is a top priority.  

Volunteers will work in small groups to deliver boxes of food directly to residents of the Sustainable Fellwood Apartments.  Additional directions will be provided on site the day of the event.   

To maintain a safe work environment, food will not be available for consumption on site. Please plan to eat before or after the event. Meal coupons will be available for The Hive dining facility for interested volunteers to use after their shift concludes.  

If you have any questions or concerns about volunteering for this event, please contact Lauren Slaydon, SERVE Adviser at LSlaydon@scad.edu or 912.247.8917.
