Tables, signage, and site cleanup are essential tasks that group volunteers can help with before and after the event. Participating in these activities not only allows you to donate your time but also strengthens our community service efforts to help neighbors in need.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Shifts for community service are typically 2–3 hours, allowing group volunteers to effectively help neighbors and make a meaningful impact while they donate their time.

For our community service activities, please wear closed-toe shoes; we provide gloves and supplies for our group volunteers who come together to help neighbors and donate their time.

Most roles are family-friendly, allowing community service opportunities for minors with a guardian. This is a great way for group volunteers to help neighbors and donate their time.

Training for group volunteers is provided on-site, ensuring that everyone can participate in community service and help neighbors through their efforts. If you're looking to donate your time, this is a great opportunity.

Water and rest breaks are available for our group volunteers who participate in community service to help neighbors in need. We encourage everyone to donate their time and efforts.

Tell us about your access needs—we’ll help match you with the right role in community service. Whether you want to donate your time, join group volunteers, or help neighbors in need, we’re here to connect you with volunteer opportunities that suit you.
