SUMMARY:Volunteers Needed for MS Walk Route Tent!
DESCRIPTION:MS Walk Route Tent\, Sat.\, May 4\, 8AM-1PM\, 5 Volunteers are needed. (This event is on Waiting List status.  If you register you will receive the automated response but will only be contacted with the details if there is a volunteer cancellation.) We will be helping at the tent where the 1 milers and the 3 milers split.  The event is being held at Denver City Park.  They will drive us (in golf carts I believe) to the covered booth location which will be right by the lake so we’ll have a fantastic view!  We will get to cheer on the runners/walkers and make sure that they are going on the correct course (as the 1 milers wouldn’t want to go on the 3 mile course\, and vice versa).  We will have snacks and water for us in our booth.  All volunteers will get an MS Tshirt.  Parking is free. This is the largest walking fundraiser in the country!  Walk MS brings together a community of passionate people for one powerful cause: to end MS forever. And with every step they take and every dollar they raise… they’re that much closer. The National MS Society is the largest private funder of MS research in the world. It’s an exciting event where they have a program and lots going on.  I know that MS has touched many families in our community. We will definitely be Going Out for a Good Cause and I know we’ll have a great time!

This is a fantastic facility that assists homeless women who have been in challenging situations!  We can help bring some Holiday joy there while serving dinner & talking to residents as they come through the dinner line!  The food is provided\, we just need to heat it up and serve it to the residents as they come through the line.  In addition to serving the food we will eat dinner towards the end of our shift prior to packing up the food items for storage. Volunteers will need to submit their COVID vaccination card prior to the event so sign up soon so we can get that to them.   So many of our volunteers request this event!  We have assisted this women’s safe shelter several times and they have asked us back as we have fantastic groups of volunteers. The shelter is in West Denver. This is a confidential location that is given out to the volunteers after registering due to the nature of the facility.  Both male & female volunteers are welcome to assist at this event.
