Daytona Employment selected as Volunteer Staffing Partner for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Space Coast
Monday, December 27th, 2010
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is coming to the Space Coast, to make a dramatic change to one family’s life! And Daytona Employment is proud to announce that it has been selected as the Exclusive Volunteer/Temporary Staffing Provider for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’s (EMHE) upcoming 187th episode.
“We were thrilled to be contacted by Extreme Makeover to be an Official Sponsor and coordinate all volunteer, VIP and media registration as well as helping to check-in thousands over a few short days,” said Daytona Employment President, Mark Venables.
Daytona Employment employees and representatives will work directly with the EMHE Project Coordinator team to manage their Volunteer and VIP Check-In tents on-site, hosting VIPs and Sponsors and personally meeting/greeting the thousands of volunteers that will contribute to this build’s success.
In order to guarantee the success of this incredible opportunity, Daytona Employment will begin accepting individual volunteer applications and corporate volunteer commitments from interested companies immediately. EMHE/Daytona Employment are recruiting for both skilled and unskilled volunteer labor, so any/all applications are encouraged and will be accepted. Please call Daytona Employment today at 386-253-3333 or contact the coordinators listed at the end of this post! We need all the help we can get to make this miracle happen people!
“Not many people understand the amount of people and man-hours that are put into an EMHE build, it is lost in the editing of the show itself,” said DE Operations Manager, Tyler LeCompte. “You will have several hundred skilled workers working on all phases of construction at the same time. Some things that normally are reserved for weeks/months down the road happen on the first and second days…it is truly amazing what Ty Pennington, his EMHE build team and the volunteer army can achieve for the benefit of a deserving family in only 7 days!”
In order for the build to be a success we need a few things: time, heart, and supplies. This is a community effort, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and LifeStyle Homes know that we can’t do this without the great people of the Space Coast. There are many ways to get involved with this project, just look below.
How to help?
Volunteer your time: General help is needed with staging, production, set-up, and other construction labor. These are unskilled positions, so bring a strong back, and a willingness to help with whatever is needed!
Volunteer your skills: From concrete to caulking there’s needs for volunteers with construction-related experience.
Donate money to the family build fund: Unfortunately, there are items we will not be able to get donated to the build. These funds will be used to pay for those items. Any remaining funds after paying expenses will be given to the family.
Donate materials: Check the list for an updated list of items. We are still in need of materials to build, furnish and decorate the home. We also need many supplies to support the build team.
Support the build team: Come out to the Pep Rally at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on January 3rd. Come out and cheer on the team during the week of the build. Spectators are welcome and encouraged!
Once you register to volunteer or donate, one of our volunteer coordinators will contact you to confirm your donation or schedule. Please do not register for the same time slot or item more than once.
