Volunteers can sign-up by submitting registration forms to United Way HandsOn Savannah. Registration forms are available on the United Way website <http://tinyurl.com/IrmaDisasterReliefVolunteers>, and can be picked up at the United Way HandsOn Savannah Office at 428 Bull Street.
Completed Forms should be submitted via fax to 912-651-7724 or by email to jkeedy@uwce.org Once registered, volunteers should report to one of the designated centers listed below to be assigned a team, given a safety briefing, and dispatched to a service site.
We will also have walk-in registration at both of our Volunteer Centers listed below. Walk-in registration will begin at 7AM on Saturday 9/16 morning and last approximately 3-4 hours. We encourage volunteers to arrive early so we can put them into teams and dispatch them to locations as quickly as possible.
***We especially need skilled volunteers who can bring a truck and/or a chainsaw to help with clean-up operations.***
We will provide basic personal protective equipment to all volunteers (gloves, protective eyewear, masks).
