Warehouse Volunteer (Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays 10am-2pm)
ORGANIZATION: Humble Design-Chicago
Please visit the new page to apply.
Humble Design is a nonprofit organization run by a small, but mighty, team of staff and volunteers that transforms empty houses into homes for those coming out of homelessness.
We do this through a cycle of collaboration. Our crew of dedicated volunteers and designers use donated furniture and household goods that we have gathered and organized in our warehouse, to personalize homes based on our clients’ unique needs and preferences.
Our services help to provide families with sanctuary, stability, and hope -- critical elements in ending the revolving door of homelessness.
Working alongside our team, you'll help sort and organize the intake and organization of donations, assemble furniture, or frame artwork and prepare supplies and furnishings for future home decos.
Days and Times: Tuesdays or Wednesdays, 10:00am-2:00pm
Location: Humble Design Warehouse, 431 W. Pershing Road, Chicago
If you’re a team player with a can-do attitude and an eye for organization, join us! In this role, you will clean, sort, and process donations to get them ready for our designers. You’ll have the opportunity to meet and work with other community focused people while supporting an organization that aims to change lives and communities.

Mission Statement
We change lives and communities by custom designing and furnishing home interiors for individuals, families and veterans emerging from homelessness.
Description
Our mission is to change lives and communities by transforming houses into homes for those emerging from homelessness.
With warehouses filled with donated furniture and household goods, we turn empty houses into clean, dignified, and welcoming homes for the recently homeless so that families can begin again. Our services help provide our clients with sanctuary, stability, and hope -- a critical element in ending the cycle of homelessness. It would take an average Humble client 18 years to save enough money to furnish a home in the way we do in just a few hours.
What started as a small endeavor has now blossomed into a national nonprofit and a worldwide movement of empathy for those who feel unseen. Humble Design is revolutionizing the way we approach homelessness by providing not just shelter, but also hope, dignity, and a fresh start. The impact is astounding-families who have been touched by Humble Design now boast an incredible 99% success rate of remaining in their homes, breaking the cycle of homelessness.
