Fly & Dry is a community-focused nonprofit powered by you: local community members, schools, churches, and other organizations looking to make an impact. From unloading donations to assembling our free incontinence supply bundles together, we need as many volunteers as we can get! If you live in the Greater Cincinnati area and are ready to improve the lives of seniors in need, please sign-up today to join our team of dedicated volunteers!
Volunteer sign-up calendarWhen you volunteer your time with F&D, you can expect to do any of the following:
Assembling product bundles can be done sitting or standing. You should ideally be able to lift up to 20 pounds if you’re doing a standing job.
Please wear close-toed shoes and comfortable clothing that allows to you move. (It’s not manual labor, but you’re going to be moving around.)
If you want to enhance your volunteer experience, consider the following:
• Bring incontinence supplies to donate and wrap! (adult BRIEF-style products, men’s and women’s, all sizes!)
• Bring your favorite K-cup or coffee pod to brew in the Keurig!
• Bring your favorite snack! (We’ll provide the water and sometimes a few snacks but bringing your own is always appreciated.)

Student Volunteers are always welcome at Fly & Dry Basic Needs Bank! Consider us when looking for rewarding ways to fulfill your community service hour requirements for school and clubs. With our online volunteer signups, tracking and verifying your hours has never been easier! We offer several evening and Saturday morning volunteer times each month to work around your school day, but they fill up fast so don’t wait till the last minute!
Bringing your group in to volunteer is a great way to get involved with our organization and give back to your community! We regularly host 2-3 hour private volunteer events for your school, work, church or club. Giving back to your local community is a great team-building activity! Email Morgan to coordinate your volunteer event.
Kids are always welcome at Fly & Dry but we rely on their guardian to help us gauge how much they can help. Not only can we keep them busy with light work, we also have a small play area to keep younger kids occupied (and contained if you’ve got some really little ones!). Kids under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a guardian and maintain a youth to adult ratio of 5:1.
There are many ways your younger children can get involved outside the warehouse too. Whether it’s organizing an incontinence supply drive in your neighborhood or school or an Empty-Your-Piggybank change drive to collect loose coins for Fly & Dry, it’s never too early to start teaching our kids how to serve others and their community. We’d also love to come to speak to your Daisy Troop, Girl Scouts, Cub or Boy Scouts, church youth group, or another group of youngsters about basic need poverty in the Greater Cincinnati community and how they can help to eliminate it.
