At the FCSF Distribution Center

Volunteering times for the 115 Mansell Place FCSF Distribution Center are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9:30AM to 5PM.

Volunteers and special project volunteer groups, team building opportunities and coordinated school groups or mission trips from out of state may be arranged by contacting us through the form above.

Volunteers do some of the following at the Foster Care Support Distribution Center depending on the tasks at hand for the day.

  • Sort clothing, size or restock the center for easy selection by foster children.

  • Wash, put together, or take apart infant equipment to make sure all is safe and in excellent condition to be used by a foster child.

  • Sort toys and make sure all pieces are there(puzzles, games, etc.) Regular volunteers can learn the process of sorting and distribution to children and help in the toy room.

  • Battery check toys to make sure they work.

  • Clean outside toys and check bikes to make sure tires and brakes are good.

  • Mow grass and do yard work.

  • Move bags to/from storage.

  • Load bags of clothing and toys and bikes into foster parents' cars on appointment days.
