At your volunteer shift, there are various opportunities to participate:
Book Sorting -- Volunteers will sort and box donated books.
Bagging Books for School Distribution -- Volunteers will pre-bag books for distribution to our partner schools.
Volunteer safety is our top priority. We have several tables/stations spread throughout the warehouse to ensure the recommended social distancing protocols for volunteers and all volunteers are required to wear a mask.
After you click the 'Register' button, you will be prompted to create an account with GivePulse and follow a series of short actions in order to complete your registration.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Important Details about your Upcoming Shift:
Please plan to arrive a few minutes before your scheduled volunteer shift so you can check in and receive instructions and start on time. We open the warehouse doors 10 minutes before the start of the shift and will begin all projects and training promptly.
You will be volunteering at our warehouse, which is located at 9947 Harwin Drive, Suite B, Houston, TX 77036. Please note that you will not be able to see 9947 from the street. Turn in between 9941 and 9949 Harwin Drive. Come straight back between the two buildings and our warehouse is on the right. Look for the BBK banner hanging in the window.
Volunteer Requirements for Minors:
Children over the age of 5 are welcome for sorting shifts.
All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
For student groups, please provide 1 adult to supervise every 2 children under age 10 and 1 adult for every 5 children ages 10 through 15.
What to wear:
Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and close-toed, rubber-soled shoes. Our warehouse is not climate controlled, so consider the outside temperature when planning your attire and dress in layers, if needed.
What to bring:
We highly recommend bringing a water bottle with you. If you would like other drinks or snacks, feel free to bring them. No food or drinks are allowed in our warehouse, so these must be consumed in our volunteer lobby.
Special needs? Just let us know:
If you require any special accommodations please let us know before your volunteer shift so we can plan accordingly. Unfortunately, our warehouse is currently not ADA accessible.
