The information below is from Samaritan’s Purse Website. Please visit the website HERE for more information.
Local / Day Volunteers: If you are local to the area we welcome you to serve for the day. Please contact our site at 360-305-2175 at least 24 hours in advance to be scheduled to serve. Please arrive at our host location: Sonlight Community Church, 8800 Bender Road, Lynden, WA 98264 at 7:30 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. for orientation. Volunteers will work Monday - Saturday, beginning Monday, November 22 at 7:30 am. Please bring a bagged lunch, water, and hand sanitizer. If you have questions about serving as a day volunteer please contact the site.
Day volunteers are welcome to serve any day, Monday through Saturday, without being scheduled for a specific date (half-days are sometimes available on Sundays). Due to the nature of disaster relief, our schedule must remain fluid. We recommend that you contact the site 24 hours in advance, prior to serving.
Minimum Age: Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age or older. Youth, ages 14-15, must be accompanied by their parent/legal guardian and youth, ages 16-17, must be accompanied by an adult chaperone unless the team is registered as a youth group. Youth groups may serve with Samaritan’s Purse and are required to complete a Youth Leader Covenant. Please read more information about our Youth Policy in the FAQ section.
Additional Information: Meals and sleeping quarters are provided for overnight volunteers. Volunteers need to bring twin size air mattress or cot, linens/sleeping bag, pillow, towels and personal hygiene items. Tools will be provided, and volunteers are welcome to bring their own tool belts and small hand tools. Volunteers should dress in long pants and bring work gloves, safety glasses, and sturdy boots or rubber boots.
