Habitat for Humanity Warehouse Relocation Project

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver has asked us to provide volunteers for a project to help move the Habitat for Humanity construction warehouse to a new location.  The construction warehouse is an key asset to support the Habitat for Humanity home building program.  The warehouse stores and distributes tools and materials to each construction site and pre-assembles certain components of homes being built.

The upcoming expansion of the National Western Stock Show complex has resulted in Habitat for Humanity loosing their lease on the current warehouse at 4680 National Western Drive.  They have acquired a new and larger leased space at 550 Raritan Way.  The move will take place the week of January 16 to 20.

We will be providing two teams of 4 people.  Dates and times for both teams are Thursday, January 19th from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM  All volunteers must be on site promptly at 9:00 AM for a required safety talk.  Volunteers who wish to stay later than 1:00 PM may do so if they wish.  Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, and bring a pair of work gloves if you have them.  You should also bring a sack lunch and a water bottle.

All volunteers will be provided with a packet containing maps, directions, and a liability waiver which must be signed and brought with you on January 19.

Team A will be working at the old warehouse location at 4680 National Western Drive.  This is on the western edge of the Stock Show grounds and is accessed by I-70 to Washington Street, then north to E. 47th Ave, then East to National Western Drive.  Keep in mind that the Stock Show will be going on, so plan on allowing adequate time for heavier than normal traffic in the area.  Duties will include assisting with moving and loading pallets onto trailers.  There might be some work involving stacking items onto pallets and shrink wrapping them, but a majority of that should already be done.

Team B will be at the new warehouse location at 550 Raritan Way.  This is located just off of the Osage Street exit from 6th Ave., just east of I-25.  Duties will include unloading pallets from trailers and helping to arrange tools and supplies in the proper storage locations.
