Had a great volunteering experience here. The center follows health and safety protocols. Restrooms are clean and there are cold water bottles available on the premises. Gloves are provided and lockers are available. Easy access from Newark Penn station via NJ Transit.

The M spot

Great place to volunteer. Did 3 hours in August 2022 and the place is very accommodating and friendly. Lockers were provided, water and clean restrooms. The assembly lines were organized. The only drawback is lack of fans to cool the space. Whether it was due to the excessive heat wave or not the it felt like a sweat shop. But it was for a good cause. Might suggest adding floor space fans to help the ceiling fans.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
