Help us with merch sales, clean up and general needs.

Help us with merch sales, clean up and general needs.

Help us unload the truck. We wipe down every box, pvc pipe etc, let it dry and stack it. It takes a while, we have to go in order that is specific so bring patience. Shaine and I usually are a comedy duo that day so you get that little bonus. We provide gloves, wipes etc. Please understand that your clothing may get dirty-dress accordingly.

Thank you for volunteering for Hugs for Ferndale Pride! You provide the most human service of all: validation through physical, compassionate touch. All Hugs Volunteers are required to wear the provided Hugs T-shirt. Masks are provided. Our non-gendered, non-binary t-shirts say, “Hugs, We Care,” on the front and, “You Matter,” on the back. This year's color is purple spirit representing magic and art. T-Shirts provided by Jim Schaffer & Associates. You may wander throughout the Pride or may be assigned an area that needs coverage. Be aware that not everyone may want a hug. Some people may prefer a handshake, elbow bump, high five or just need a listening ear. The only exception to this is if someone is acting in a way that is making you uncomfortable. Then direct them to our tent. If protestors or other negative or unsupportive signs and behaviors are present, please report it to the Hugs or Volunteer Check-In booths. Unfortunately, protest and dissent is something the community has always had to deal with. It is important that we are able to help. If someone is acting in a way that is making you uncomfortable, direct them to our tent.
