1. Name
2. Phone number
3. Cell phone number
4. Email Address
5. Which shelter you will be willing to volunteer at and will be able to get to safely (see list below)
6. Days (between 1/29/10 tomorrow and 2/5/10 Friday) available
7. Hours available (4 hours shift are preferred)

Emergency shelters are being established at the following locations:

Fayetteville Boys and Girls Club (west side shelter)
