Volunteer: Table Talker TeamDo you enjoy talking? Do you enjoy tables? If one of the answers to those questions is yes... and especially if it's the talking on..then this opportunity is for you!! Scroll all the way down for the event dates/times link!!
Pretty often Mercy Mall is asked to set up a table in the lobby of a church, business, or at a community fair but is hard to fit into our calendar. That's where this team, Table Talkers, comes in! We will train you on the "language" of Mercy Mall and provide you with the materials to set up a table with a covering, flyers, sign ups and info to hand out! Here are the TOP 5 MUST'S FOR A VOLUNTEER that helps in this area: BE FRIENDLY BE EDUCATED ABOUT MERCY MALL (even just a little) BE OKAY WITH NOT KNOWING STUFF BE WILLING TO MAKE NEW CONNECTIONS BE APPROACHABLE You may be 1 or 2 of those things but all of them are really helpful to create a space/table that encourages people to come over and chat with you! SMILING and encouraging people to come and learn. STANDING makes you look ready to meet new people. SHARING flyers speaks better than knowing all the answers. Just saying simply" I'm not really sure about that but we would love to chat about that more, here is a flyer and an email to reach out to our office and they can help you!" It's an answer instead of guessing at an answer.We will post opportunities on the calendar for upcoming table events.

Please add a taped or laminated label to each laundry bottle in English and Spanish that says:
