Ames-Summer Supply Drive
This is an event held on a Saturday in July that requires different shifts of volunteers to assist with set-up at the store front (could be: WalMart/Fareway/Target/HyVee/Sam's Club), and then approaching customers as they enter the store and telling them we're with YSS and collecting much needed supply items for our many programs and would they help by purchasing something off our list- (a list is handed to them with the specific items)-and drop it off with us on their way out. Volunteers need to help with collecting the items, loading the items in vans, and bringing all the donations to the YSS Jacobson Building and unloading everything there.
There are also hours available after the event to help sort and inventory all the supplies.
