Please bring a bag lunch and
a beverage (cooler or

working outside (rain or
shine) so please make sure
you dress appropriately in
accordance with the weather.
During the winter months,
there is indoor work to be
completed. Hard-soled shoes,
or work boots are
recommended for the
volunteer’s safety.

site, please introduce your
group to the Volunteer

sign-in sheet. Each member
of your group must sign and
bring the

that to the construction

encouraged. If you bring
