People skills are a must for this opportunity! Our distribution is also an ideal time to employ or practice language skills - particularly Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Volunteers should be able to comfortably lift a minimum of 20 lbs, though we are happy to make reasonable accommodations.
