Guiding Principles
Most non-profits agencies track the number of volunteers and hours donated in support of their services. With the submission and tracking of volunteer hours the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank can provide summary reports of service hours to our partner agencies. These reports also allow us to use the value of donated volunteer hours as an in-kind match for grants and other funding support.
Volunteer Rights:
- You should be treated as a co-worker by staff members at the agency.
- You should be given assignments that utilize and develop your skills.
- You should be given adequate information and training to carry out your assignments.
- You should receive guidance and supervision by a staff member.
- You should feel free to discuss problems, ask questions, or make suggestions.
- You should have a designated place to work.
- You should receive recognition of a job well done.
Volunteer Expectations
Volunteers expect and enjoy certain rights when they donate their time. However, volunteers also have specific responsibilities to the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank - we count on you! Please fulfill your shift commitment.
- You must be dependable, reliable, businesslike, and abide by the agreement you make with the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank.
- You must notify us if it is not possible to meet your commitment as planned.
- If you have problems or concerns, please talk to your supervisor so that they may be discussed and resolved. Be sure to ask questions about anything you don’t understand.
- You must sign in & out of the volunteer check-in computer after each shift.
- Food and clothing donated to our facility is strictly for our clients. Please refrain from taking anything from the premises.
