Create a clam and welcoming experience at one of the evening’s key guest touchpoints
As a Coat Check Volunteer at Dish, Second Harvest Heartland’s premier gala, you’ll be one of the first and last people guests interact with during the event. You’ll greet attendees warmly, securely store their belongings, and assist with item retrieval at the end of the night. For late-shift volunteers, you’ll also encourage donations in lieu of tips to further support our mission to end hunger.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys guest interaction in a quieter setting and values thoughtful service.
What You’ll Do:
- Welcome guests and accept items at the coat check station
- Securely store coats and personal belongings
- Assist with item retrieval at the end of the evening
- Encourage non-cash donations in lieu of tips (tipping is not accepted)
What You’ll Gain:
- A guest-facing role at a meaningful and mission-driven event
- Training and guidance provided at the start of your shift
- A chance to connect with fellow volunteers and community members
- Complimentary meal, snacks, and parking voucher
- Invitation to an optional pre-event overview session in early October
Your Commitment:
- Background Check: Complete a background check (SHH staff or exiting volunteers may already meet this requirement).
- Physical readiness: Able to sit for extended periods
- Dress for the event: Wear cocktail attire and comfortable shoes
- Dependability: Arrive on time, stay flexible, and bring a positive attitude
- Teamwork: Work as part of a team in a fast-paced environment
