Friendly Reminders!
- Dress for the weather. Wear warm, layered clothing and close-toed shoes. You may consider bringing a waterproof jacket/coat if the forecast calls for light rain. You can leave unneeded items on the bus.
- Seeing as you are volunteering on private residences, access to restrooms will be limited. Please plan accordingly.
- Work gloves are not necessary. Consider wearing winter/cold-weather gloves and hats for warmth if possible.
- Bring snacks and a water bottle if necessary.
