Volunteers are needed throughout the year, including summer and semester breaks to pick up surplus supplies from collection bins at Duke North and Central Tower locations and to help sort and inventory supplies at the Duke Health warehouse at 100 Golden Drive.
All are welcome to help sort and inventory supplies at the Duke Health warehouse. Currently we meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 6:00pm-7:30pm. If interested, please sign-up for a volunteer shift at this link.
Collection at Duke North and Duke Central Tower is open to Duke Health badge holders only. This includes all health professional students (medical, PA, PT, OT, and nursing) and hospital staff who have badge access to the units in these buildings. Volunteers for pick up shifts are required to complete an in-person orientation at DUH before their first volunteer shift. If you are interested in participating in supply pick up shifts, please fill out this Google form
All volunteers must be age 18 or older and capable of performing light physical activity. Unfortunately, the REMEDY space at the Duke Health warehouse is upstairs in a location that is not ADA accessible. There is no minimum number of hours required to volunteer with REMEDY. Sorting procedure training at the warehouse will be provided by the REMEDY coordinator and/or experienced volunteers. Please wear closed-toed shoes (no sandals).
