Opportunity Details
Help Families Build Disaster Preparedness Kits (age 18+)
Did you know that less than 15 percent of Americans are prepared for a disaster? The Allstate Foundation is working to change that by participating in local community events across the country and encouraging families to build disaster preparedness kits.
Volunteers will help families build a quick disaster kit as part of a big event at OMSI (see below). Volunteers will engage families at our booth and explain the importance of each item in a disaster kit. Don't worry - no expertise is needed - we'll provide training for volunteers at the beginning of the shift.
Volunteer roles include:
-- Line Management
-- Greeting/Registration
-- Kit-Building
-- Kit Item Re-Stocking
-- Breakdown and Clean Up
-- Canvassing event to encourage participation
We'll be part of OMSI's Drive Revolution event, which focuses on sustainable transportation and includes disaster relief trials on cargo bikes! We'll be in OMSI's parking lot on the esplanade so come join us on what promises to be a beautiful summer day. And you can build your own disaster kit to take home with you! Red Cross will also be part of the event with their kid-focused Pillowcase Project.
Thank you for helping us keep families safe!
