If you sign up you will receive 2 automated responses but will only be contacted with details if there is a volunteer cancellation.) Since the theme for the evening is the Land of Oz it’s a costume party where Dorothies, Scarecrows, Tin Men, Wizards costumes are welcome. Of course, you don’t have to wear a costume but you definitely can. We will be helping with their Heads or Tails/Raffle Sales. We will also get to enjoy the event plus dinner will be provided. The event is at the Mt. Vernon Country Club so we will try to set up a carpool if desired. We have helped them before & really enjoyed the experience! It is a fantastic event for a very worthy non profit which has been helping weak and vulnerable people since 1980.

Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter!
2023-01-19 17:00 - 19:00
Serving Dinner at The Crossing transitional shelter, Thurs. Jan. 19th, 5PM-7PM, 6 volunteers are needed. Many of our volunteers request this event because they enjoy it and feel that it is such a worthwhile organization. The Crossing is a transitional facility between the homeless shelter and getting back into a home. The residents are working and saving up for a place to live. It is drug & alcohol free. Men, women & children reside there. It provides a great service as people work to get back on their feet. Our volunteers will help in the buffet line and may help with some of the meal bags for those who come back from work after dinner time. After we serve dinner we will have an opportunity to eat as a group and also enjoy the meal. This facility is trying to keep everything safe for volunteers. Each volunteer should wear a mask. Gloves will be provided. All volunteers must have been vaccinated! We will be behind the counter & plexi-glass when serving food and there are sinks for handwashing and sanitizer.
