Types of Volunteer Activities
This event offers a variety of service opportunities throughout the day and evening ranging from yard work and meal preparation to hygiene kit packing. Some activities begin at noon during the day and others start at 6:30 p.m. that evening. In some locations, child care is available while you serve. In other locations, a meal is provided.
Food and Meal Service
If you have a heart for the hungry in our city, join a team that will be preparing and serving meals.
Lawn and Yard Work
If you’re ready to get your hands dirty and take on a project outdoors, grab your gloves, a rake, maybe some lawn care equipment, and join a project that will beautify one of our neighborhoods.
Friendship and Community Outreach
If you’re in for some fun, check out one of our Fall Festival locations or one of our children’s homes and help play, craft, or just have a good conversation with a new friend.
Renovations and Indoor Projects
Some locations will need painters, cleaners, and organizers. Grab a brush or a mop or come ready to lift heavy items to assist our friends in the best use of their space.
Pastoral Care
If you’re a great conversationalist or just want to send a note of encouragement to a member in one of our communities, join one of the sites for pastoral care.
Donation Management
Whether it’s packing medications or hygiene kits, come ready to pitch in and help organize resources that will be used to bless our community and mission partners.
