Volunteer group Frequently Asked Questions

We love welcoming volunteer groups to our warehouse! 

Important Information for Group Volunteering:

  • Group Size: To ensure a productive and enjoyable experience, we can accommodate groups of up to 15 people maximum.
  • Private Shifts: If your group would like to have a private volunteer shift for your group we require a minimum of 10 volunteers. Smaller groups are welcome to join one of our regularly scheduled shifts.
  • Scheduling: Due to high demand, group volunteer opportunities fill up quickly! We are currently scheduling group shifts three months in advance. Be sure to book your spot early.

What to Expect:

During your 2 hour volunteer shift, your group will help with a variety of tasks, including sorting clothing, packing boxes, and preparing hygiene kits. Every task you complete brings us one step closer to providing essentials to children who need them most.



Groups are encouraged to volunteer on weekdays. Weekend shifts are extremely limited.  Our volunteers have so much fun we are booked and currently scheduling weekend shifts into 2025. We have more options and flexibility Monday - Friday. 


Children who would like to volunteer in the Boxes of Basics warehouse to pack and sort clothing must be at least 12 years old and must be accompanied by an adult the entire shift. If you have a group of children 12 or under check out our page for youth volunteers for ideas!   https://boxesofbasics.org/young-volunteers


We love our young volunteers but have found that working in the warehouse lends itself to older teens and adults. We want to encourage your group of young people to give back and have designed volunteer opportunities that are suitable for the younger crowd.  https://boxesofbasics.org/young-volunteers


 Boxes of Basics will follow the Prince William County School decisions in the case of inclement weather. If Prince William County Schools are delayed OR cancelled, then all volunteer shifts and Boxes of Basics activities are cancelled for the entire day.  

Volunteers and staff should always use their best judgement and put their personal safety first in instances of inclement weather. 


Please email Ashley, our Volunteer Coordinator to schedule a group: ashley@boxesofbasics.org
