• Sorting - opening bags and boxes and sorting items into general category bins
• Sorting - further sorting general category bins into bins of more restrictive categories
• Counting, bagging and labeling similar items
• Creating kits of supplies (respiratory kits, surgical kits, birthing kits, etc.)
• Packing, sealing and labeling boxes for shipment
Children 12 years and older are welcome, with adult supervision requested for those in middle school.
Dress is casual but please wear close toed shoes.
