Family Giving Tree

2025 Back-to-School Drive - Community

July 14th - August 13th, 2025



Volunteers are an integral part of Family Giving Tree’s mission. By spending your time with Family Giving Tree, you are a collaborative partner in making a positive impact in our community. Thank you and be sure to look out for more emails with information as you get closer to your shift date.

Sign up below for your 5 volunteer time slots. Volunteer slots are first come, first served. Choosing one time slot equals one volunteer. If you want to include more people, you must add them to your reservation.


Tips and Tricks:
- If you would like to add multiple people to multiple shifts (ex. 2 people for a 10:00am shift, 3 people for a 12:30pm shift), please signup for one shift at a time. You can signup for the second shift through the Volunteer Profile link sent in your confirmation email.

If you have any issues signing up, please contact Shannon at volunteers@fgt.org.

We are following the health guidelines of Santa Clara County and not requiring proof of vaccination or mask wearing. You are more than welcome to wear your own masks and PPE to feel comfortable.

Happy Volunteering!

Waiver

GENERAL MEDICAL WAIVER AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
I, understand and agree that as the “Volunteer”(or as Parent/Guardian for the under-18 volunteer named on this form) the “Volunteer” is volunteering their time for a Family Giving Tree warehouse event (the "Event"). I understand and agree that The Family Giving Tree, CBRE, the owner (the “Organizations”), agents, employees, heirs, successors, and assigns are in no way responsible for the “Volunteer’s” actions or the actions of other volunteers at the Event. In the event of an accident or injury to the “Volunteer”, while volunteering, I authorize the Family Giving Tree, their directors, officers, agents, employees, successors, and assigns to seek and obtain medical and/or dental treatment and/or care. The authority granted by this General Medical Waiver and Indemnity Agreement includes the authority to consent to any medical and/or dental treatment and/or care to be rendered under the general and/or specific supervision of a qualified physician, surgeon, or dentist.
Furthermore, I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, and I hereby release the “Organizations”, their sponsors, directors, officers, agents, employees, successors, heirs, and assigns from any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, charges, suits, penalties, costs and/or expenses, including but not limited to death, personal injury, court costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses, resulting from any act (whether intentional or not), and/or from any injury caused or sustained during my participation in the Event. The Parent/Guardian hereby attests that the “Volunteer’s” attendance and involvement in the Event is voluntary, that they are participating at their own and sole risk, and that they have read, understand, and accept the terms and conditions of this General Medical Waiver and Indemnity Agreement. The Parent/Guardian hereby expressly waives all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law of any other state or territory of the United States of America. Such section reads: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."


RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND PHOTO RELEASE NOTICE
We understand that The Family Giving Tree is not responsible for any personal property lost or stolen while the “Volunteer” uses or participates in The Family Giving Tree's facilities or programs. It is recommended that valuables are not brought to the Family Giving Tree's office or warehouse.
I, as Parent/Guardian, give my permission to The Family Giving Tree to use, without limitation or obligation, photographs, film footage, or tape recordings that may include their image or voice for purposes of promoting or interpreting The Family Giving Tree programs.

OTHER
The “Volunteer” expressly agrees that this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of California and that this Release shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The “Volunteer” agrees that in the event that any clause or provision of the Release shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such clause or provision shall not otherwise affect the remaining provisions of this Release which shall continue to be enforceable.

I HAVE READ AND ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.
