Opportunity Details
New Beginnings Market Organizing Assistance (age 16+)*Impact Week 2022*
IRCO's mission is to promote the integration of refugees, immigrants and the community at large into a self-sufficient, healthy and inclusive multi-ethnic society. Oregon has one of the fastest growing refugee and immigrant populations in the country. IRCO supports immigrants, refugees and mainstream community members to become self-sufficient through extensive programming, outreach and education in our 75+ cultural programs. With the help of our generous volunteers, our programs help to serve the most underrepresented communities in the state. Since 2020, our Volunteers have donated almost 30,000 cumulative hours and we are so thankful for each one of them.
Volunteers will receive a brief orientation/training on how to help organize and sort donation items housed at IRCO`s New Beginnings Market. This market is a community space where community members can come to shop for their needs. There are items spanning from clothing and toiletries to furniture. The IRCO Fundraising team has recently moved in-kind donations into the New Beginnings Market and is in the process of organizing the space. We need volunteers to make this market as soon as available for the community members.
Please consider volunteers will be moving and organizing items in a large warehouse space. Close-toed shoes are recommended. Please bring water - snacks should be provided. Masks are optional, but please feel free to wear one.
