Group Volunteering

Group volunteering is a great way to help us save lives and save the environment alongside your friends, family, and co-workers. Group volunteering sessions begin with a presentation and tour of the facility where we explain your important role in the recovery and redistribution of medical supplies. This presentation can be specifically tailored to your group’s interest.

Small group consists of 5 to 9 individuals and large groups consist of 10- 30 individuals. To maximize your experience, MedWish suggest groups not exceed 30 individuals. Groups should schedule their volunteer opportunity at least seven days before the service. Contact us to schedule your group sort.

Group volunteer opportunities are available Tuesday-Friday and two Saturdays each month.

For group requests outside our standard volunteering hours, please contact us. We can work with you to see how your schedule can help meet our mission. Give your time today!
