Seeking a Volunteer to help with charity toy testing

Happy Holidays to everyone. 

This holiday season, Essco Safety Check is giving back to the community and providing free holiday toy testing for lead and other heavy metals to Hopelink of Redmond, WA.  

Today, I began XRF testing of some of the toys that will be given away by Hopelink. These toys for the most part are still in their original packaging.  Because of this, I am seeking a volunteer to help me carefully open the packaging and then reseal the package after testing.

If you are available to assist during the daytime hours over the next two weeks and of course are local enough to get to our office, I would love some assistance.  I’ll provide all the coffee or tea you want, I just want to test as many toys as time permits and unpacking, testing and resealing is taking longer than I had anticipated.

I visited Hopelink yesterday and they have hundreds of toys to be tested. 

If you have some free time and want to help out our holiday charity testing effort, all you need to do is share some with me as I test toys for lead and other heavy metals. 

I would greatly appreciate some help so I can test as many toys as possible.

Happy Holidays
