Thank you for your interest in bringing a group to volunteer with HOPEmatch this holiday season!
This application is only for groups of 8 or more people who would like to volunteer in the HOPEmatch Headquarters during our holiday operations between 12/6-12/15/2023. The opportunity is located in Matthews, NC.
We will be offering volunteering slots for groups of 8-20 people during the following times for the 2023 season:
*Thurs, 12/14 9:30am-Noon (8 spots left)
* Fri, 12/15: 9:30am-Noon (6 spots left)
**Group sessions are reserved on a first come, first reserved basis and you may indicate your top 3 choices below.
**We are only able to accommodate ADULT volunteer groups at this time.
**We may add more dates as we get closer to December.
PLEASE NOTE: All groups will need to arrive together at the same time. We will not be able to get your group started until everyone has arrived at the office, so please make sure to communicate that to your group. When all members of your group arrive, we will be taking you through a short training time so that you know what you will be doing. Even if you have volunteered with us before, we require all seasonal volunteers to go through this training. Please plan to have your group stay the entire time slot for which you sign up. We reserve your spots for that time and count on the help for the entire period of time. There are some occasions where we will finish early. We appreciate your flexibility!
Quality is important to HOPEmatch, so please only send volunteers who are skilled in the following areas: Wrapping Gifts and Inventory. Because of the volume and short time frame we are working within, please send volunteers who are organized and have an attention to detail. We will only be able to allow volunteers in the office that are actively working this year due to social distancing requirements.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions about our procedures. We look forward to working with your group!
