Group Volunteer Activities
Group Volunteer Activities
You and a group of family and friends or a organizational group can volunteer to help us and have fun doing it!
Volunteering together can help people think about others and become more compassionate toward their community members. It also can build teamwork and be challenging when your group has to learn new skills.
Some of the group opportunities we have available include:
- Packaging kitchen boxes, bedding, bath towels, etc. (It’s assembly line fun!)
- Organizing the warehouse
- Being a delivery team
- Making over furniture
Welcome Home Delivery Team
A small group (4-6 teens to adults) delivers furniture to client apartments or houses. Your group will spend about 2 -3 hours per client, depending on the size of the delivery. We can provide a driver and trailer if your group does not have access to one. Let us know the day and time your group can do the delivery.
CFR will fill that time with a client delivery and share information about the client with the group.
Your group can “shop” our warehouse for the household needs, load the furniture, and deliver it to the client.

- Managing and flagging excess inventory
- Maintaining a clean, efficient, and safe storage area
This is a great opportunity for individuals, service groups, families, or teams who want to make a meaningful impact in just a few hours each month.
