This event happens RAIN OR SHINE\, so please check the weather and dress accordingly.  Snacks and a bagel lunch with sides will be provided. All who stay until at least 2pm will receive a Volunteer Day t-shirt. Watch this short video from one of our previous Volunteer Days. \nChildren are welcome! We only ask that they work on the same project as their parents. Teens (13+) can either stay with their families or help out with the Teenside projects.
