Show Up. Make a Difference.
Volunteering with Justine's Helping Hands is one of the most direct ways to change a child's day — and sometimes their whole story. No special skills required. Just a willing heart.
Why Volunteers Matter
We are a small team powered almost entirely by community volunteers. Every clothing swap, every foster care pack, every stocked school closet happens because people like you showed up. Your time is the engine that keeps our mission running.

Find Your Place
Setup & Breakdown Crew
Arrive early to arrange clothing racks, tables, and signage. Stay after to pack up and sort remaining items for donation.
Clothing Sorter
Sort incoming donations by size, gender, and season so families can find what they need quickly and with dignity.
Family Greeter
Welcome families as they arrive, explain how the swap works, and help them feel comfortable and at ease.
Your four hours at a swap means dozens of kids leave with clothes that actually fit — and parents leave with their dignity intact.
"I've volunteered at six swaps now. Every single time I leave feeling like I actually did something real." — Volunteer, 2 years
Clothing Swaps
Community Outreach
Help spread the word to schools, churches, shelters, and social service agencies so more families know they can be referred to us.
Intake Coordinator
Assist with processing referrals, communicating with partner organizations, and scheduling family pickups.
Every new referral partner you bring in opens a door for a family who didn't know help was available.
"I work at a shelter and started referring families. Now I also volunteer on intake days. It's the most meaningful thing I do all week." — Volunteer & partner
Referral Program
Pack Assembler
Sort and assemble clothing, shoes, and essentials into bags sized for specific age groups. Attention to detail and care go a long way.
Donation Sorter
Process incoming clothing donations — wash, inspect, fold, and organize by size so packs can be assembled quickly.
Delivery Driver
Deliver completed packs to foster families, group homes, or case workers. A valid driver's license and reliable vehicle required.
A pack you assemble today might be waiting for a child tonight when they arrive at a new home for the first time.
"Packing these bags is quiet, careful work. I think about the kid who's going to open it. That keeps me coming back." — Volunteer, 3 years
Foster Care Packs
Closet Stocker
Visit partner schools to restock care closets with sorted, size-appropriate clothing. Coordinate with school staff on what's needed most.
Donation Driver
Pick up clothing donations from drop-off points and deliver them to our sorting location or directly to schools.
School Liaison
Build relationships with school counselors and administrators to identify needs, schedule visits, and ensure closets stay stocked.
A stocked closet means a school counselor can quietly help a student without paperwork, waiting, or shame.
"I stock closets at two schools. The counselors text me when they're running low. It feels like being part of the school community." — Volunteer, 1 year
