VOLUNTEER POSITION

Flag Tote Filler

Date TBD


What is a Flag Tote Filler?

The Flag Tote Fillers are our team of volunteers that ensure the appropriate number of flag bundles are placed in each tote bag for Flag Placement volunteers to use. Please note that the flags are already bundled before the event.

Things to consider before volunteering:

  • This is a sit/stand position meaning it’s perfect for those who are unable to stand for long periods of time.
  • Each bag of flags will weigh about 20 pounds once full, if you don’t think you’ll be able to lift and organize for the duration of your shift, this may not be the best volunteer position for you.

HELPFUL TIPS


REMEMBER,
we’ll be out rain or shine! Dress for the weather!

YOU WILL RECEIVE SOME GUIDANCE
prior to other volunteers arriving, so don’t be nervous!
