Short-Term help needed for Dump and Run

-Your volunteer time will result in funds for TLP-

Tompkins Learning Partners is once again a Cornell “Dump and Run” partner at Cornell.  This means that we will be one of the recipients of funds from the sale of items “left behind” by Cornell students. But to make this a successful event for all, we need your help once again.  Volunteers are needed to sort the goods, move them to Cornell’s Helen Newman gym, and to work the sale itself.

The schedule is as follows:

Sorting will take place from now through late July in a warehouse located on Hall Road which is at the intersection across from TreeForms on Route 13 (near NYSEG).  Go North on 13, take a left onto Hall Road. At the stop sign - take a left. The warehouse is on the right hand side - the second from the last warehouse on that side of the road. It sits sideways to the road. The designated times are Tuesdays from 8:00 to 4:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 4:15 to 6:30 p.m.  You simply go to the warehouse and sign in as a TLP volunteer and work.  A Cornell staffer will provide direction and answer any questions.  Sorting on Saturdays is also a possibility – call TLP to make Saturday arrangements.  

• Moving days will be August 19, 20 and 21 (Wed., Thurs., & Fri.) from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Volunteers will help at Helen Newman Gym on Cradit Farm Drive – unloading truck/trailers, unpacking boxes and organizing the sales floor. 

• Sale days are Saturday, August 22 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, August 23, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will assist with sales floor activities: handing out price lists, restocking, keeping areas tidy, answering questions, pricing and cashiering.

 The more hours volunteers representing TLP can work from now until August, the more funds will go to TLP.
