Group Volunteers

Doorways offers a wide range of opportunities for your group to get involved!

Collection Drives

Independent Drives

We are looking for groups who would like to organize collection drives for much needed items on a one-time, monthly, or quarterly basis. We can provide promotional fliers and Doorways brochures if your location requests them.

Cell Phone Drives

Doorways recycles cell phones by providing emergency-911 phones to families in crisis or recycling them for cash. Doorways sends these phones to a community partner who recycles them and in turn makes a monetary contribution to Doorways. New phones can award Doorways up to $20/phone!
