Global Soap Project Warehouse Team

To contact us Click HERE
The Global Soap Project recovers and recycles soap from American hotels and facilitates a process by which it is sanitized and remolded into new bars, then distributed to vulnerable populations worldwide. In 2011, GSP collected over 200 tons of soap that would have ended up in the landfills, produced 60,000 new bars of soap, and distributed bars to eighteen different countries around the world. 


Volunteers are needed to: 


• Sort the soap donations from hotels and take inventory
• Inspect and clean the previously used soap of any hair or other particles; get rid of any bad soap 
• Cut bars of soap from the reprocessed soap created by the machine 
• Put soap in boxes and move boxes to storage area of warehouse 
• Break down and set up boxes as needed 
• Help keep the warehouse neat and tidy 
• As needed, drive to hotels in the metropolitan Atlanta area to pick up donated soap, and/or drive to local grocery stores to pick up donated cardboard boxes 


Requirements: Volunteers must sign a waiver to participate. This project may involve some heavy lifting and/or using a blade for cutting soap (only those 18 and over can participate in cutting soap). Make sure you wear clothing that can get dirty, closed-toe shoes.  Volunteers must be at least 12 years old with adult supervision to work in the warehouse and 18 years old to drive.  Those driving must show proof of a driver’s license and automobile insurance.  


This project is not accessible for wheelchair users and because of the strong soap scent, may not be appropriate for those with chronic respiratory conditions.  Volunteer shifts are either 9:00am-12:00pm or 1:00pm-5:00pm.  Please be on time and plan to stay for the duration of your shift.  If you are more than 30 minutes late to your shift, you may be asked to re-schedule your volunteer time.  This project site is located in Norcross.
