Please remain at your assigned station or task for the duration of your shift. Our staff and members depend on you supporting them at your assigned station. If you have limitations which prevent you from fulfilling your assigned task, please let a staff member know and we will reassign you. 

Please refrain from using your phone or earphones unless you have an emergency.This is for your safety so that you can hear equipment moving in the warehouse.  Additionally, we ask that you be present out of respect for our members.

Please cleanup after yourself: If you enjoy coffee, tea, water, or snacks in the Haven, please leave the space as you found it out of respect for our janitorial staff.
