Get Ready for Family Volunteer Day
Get ready to participate with your family in Family Volunteer Day on Saturday, November 21st.
What better way could there be to celebrate Thanksgiving as a family? Let’s all remind ourselves of all that we have to be thankful for by performing a service for someone in need.
Make the most out of this bonding experience by putting the spotlight on family members’ individual knowledge and abilities in choosing where to volunteer together this year. Communicate your priorities and compromise as needed to ensure wholehearted group participation.
To make the most of the event, resources for finding opportunities and planning your day of service together are linked below. Learn about what opportunities are available here in the Huntsville, Alabama area and involve the whole family in the discussions to decide what project you want to participate in.
