Professional charitable fundraising through canvassing and used goods donations.

The Job – Canvass approximately 600 homes per day in residential neighborhoods and pick up donations from canvassing that happened a couple days prior. This is an outdoor job that is production based. This program is known to produce donations and it has been worked here to produce reliable income and work/life balance.

You're not selling anything. You're not talking to donors. You're not riding the clock. You're operating as quickly and quietly as possible for maximum canvassing coverage and therefore maximum donations and income. Pay is based on production - maximize it.

Big Picture View of Job

Essentially, the job consists of stapling cardstock cards to pink plastic bags which you will distribute into residential neighborhoods. The bags and cards will be used by donors to make highly visible donations of clothing and small household items. The bags will be placed on doors during the canvassing portion of the day. Bags that were placed on doors a couple of days prior will be picked up during the pickup portion of the day. After the pickup portion, the donations are all unloaded at a thrift store and production is measured so that you can get paid.

This job will require that you use a company vehicle from your home with a trailer, so you need to live somewhere where you can store a trailer safely when not in use. You need to be able to drive a small truck with a trailer safely and efficiently.

This job has been carefully designed so that a person can go directly from their home to the field with as little drive time as possible. Some portions of the job are done at home and can be done in bulk well ahead of time. The current area mapped is west of Beltway 8, South of 249, and North of 10 so the job will revolve around the home address of the employee.

This includes a company car, which will be a Chevrolet Colorado truck and a trailer. See the link below....
