Leveling the Playing Field can host groups of up to 25 people at our warehouses. To schedule a custom volunteer opportunity, please contact us at info@levelingtheplayingfield.org.

Keep in mind you can help us out no matter where you live! You can also support LPF with a financial contributions.

Every day, we receive sporting equipment donations which are dropped off at our warehouses and sent into the community. We rely on volunteers to quality check and organize all of these donations.

Volunteers will inventory and sort sports equipment donations from our intake bins. Volunteers will also help staff maintain the warehouse space by sorting through current inventory and making sure all equipment is in good condition.

A basic understanding of sports equipment is preferred but not required. Typical volunteer shifts last two hours. This opportunity is open to individuals and groups. The age minimum to volunteer is 10 years old. All volunteers under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

Mitzvah Project? Eagle Scout Project? Girl Scout Troop? Or just need volunteer hours?

Leveling the Playing Field relies on community members to collect sports equipment in their community.

Volunteers can organize their own collection drives at their schools, sports leagues, churches, synagogues, neighborhoods etc. LPF will provide donation bins, marketing materials and hands-on assistance to any interested collector.

Collectors will place donation bins, inventory equipment, and hand out tax receipts to donors when requested. If able, volunteers will transport donated equipment from their drive to the LPF warehouse.

LPF staff is available to discuss potential collection drives over the phone.

Can’t make it into the warehouse? Adopt a metal bin as an LPF Bin Ambassador!

Adopting a metal donation bin is a great way for individuals and families to assist LPF. Bin Ambassadors are responsible for checking your nearest LPF metal bin once a month, emptying the bin, and transporting the items to your local LPF warehouse.

The length of time as an LPF Bin Ambassador is flexible, however, we ask for a minimum commitment of three months.

Bin Ambassadors are eligible to receive service learning hours (SSL) for time spent covering bins. 

Interested ambassadors should complete the LPF Bin Ambassador interest form and a member of our team will reach out to you. Please contact us at info@levelingtheplayingfield.org with questions.
