BILINGUAL Spanish/English Special Assistance Thanksgiving Check in 2025

Description

Help us aid families through our Thanksgiving basket drive pick up process. Every year the Goodman Center gives away 4,000 baskets containing all the fixings to make a complete meal.

Bilingual Spanish/English Special Assistance volunteers answer questions for people who aren't registered or who forgot their registration information. We find a way to help all families who seek a basket and need your help explaining the process to them. Families remain in their cars throughout the process and our volunteers greet them at their cars. 

What you bring:

  • Comfortable with excel spreadsheets and searches
  • Ability to explain instructions, next steps and answer questions (Bilingual English/Spanish skillset required)
  • Be courteous, friendly and reassuring
  • Willing to work outside under a tent and at cars for most of your shift

Sign up Details:

  • Please ensure you are available for the entire shift. Shifts can not be split or shortened.
  • Teams of volunteers are welcome so please sign up as a team even if you are just two people.
  • On street parking is available around the center. No space will be available in the Goodman lot due to the massive Thanksgiving drive.
