General Info


Attire: For warehouse work, wear layers. We are never sure what temperatures to expect, but it's usually COLD! We also suggest comfy shoes.

Snacking : We always have Culligan water available! Snacks and food are available for sale from Gold Rush Catering.  If you are hosting a group of volunteers, Gold Rush Catering is also able to cater your event.  Please click here for details!

Little Elves : Little Elf volunteers are welcome, but remember the warehouse is not child-proof so younger volunteers must be strictly supervised.
