Waiver
Volunteer Guidelines and Agreement
We encourage you to spend time getting to know our guests and to demonstrate empathy and active listening to them. If they ask for assistance or have questions, please refer them to a staff member.
Dress code is crucial-- if not within our standards, you will be asked to change or come back once your attire meets facility expectations. SHoulders, cleavage, midriff, thighs, and feet must be covered at all times.
Closed toe shoes ONLY -- no flip flops or sandals
Ladies: long pants, jeans, or capris -- no form fitting materials (leggings/yoga pants) or shorts.
Men: pants, jeans, or long shorts
Shirts must have short or long sleeves -- no tank tops
Volunteers must be at least 5 years old. Volunteers 5-11 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times, and cannot serve in the kitchen. Volunteers 12-17 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Please notify us of the ages of volunteers in your group in order to appropriately place your group.
Please do not give guests or interns any direct donations, especially cash. HF has the resources to meet the majority of guest needs once expressed, so please refer them to a staff member. However, you are welcome to bring donation items. Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator for a list of needed items.
Feel free to take pictures of the facility and your group. However, due to confidentiality, do not include the faces of our guests and interns without their consent.
Since we do not have a place to securely store belongings, please only bring what you need and can keep on you. Please also remember to stow all belongings in vehicles out of sight. HF assumes no responsibility for lost, damaged, or stolen personal property.
For your protection please note:
We serve many types of individuals, we ask that you DO NOT exchange personal information with our guests including, but not limited to social media, your phone number, and where you reside. Never give them any personal information or meet with them outside of HF, for both your and their safety.
Both volunteers and guests are to be treated with respect at all times. If you experience conflict with a guest, observe inappropriate behavior, or anything causes you to feel uncomfortable, please find a staff member immediately to resolve the issue. Please remain calm and understand the stress our guests are under.
We are located at 705 Virginia Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64106. Please call (816) 471-4673 if you need directions. Please park in the street on Admiral Blvd upon arrival. Remember, do not bring valuable items to our facility, and please leave all valuables securely out of sight in your vehicle.
If for any reason you need to cancel, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice and call the Development Coordinator.
If the number of volunteers in your group changes prior to arrival, please notify us so we can place your team accordingly.
