Why are we asking people to serve in this way?
It takes a lot of people to support this one-day, citywide effort! While the majority of our volunteers are assigned to work at specific locations, we also need a few key teams of “roaming” volunteers – people actively supporting over 100 sites in the city. The Transportation Team is one of those roaming teams.
What can I expect?
This group of volunteers will initially meet at The Crossing, and will be ready to:
- run errands and deliver necessary items (more paint, a missing tool, etc) to sites with last-minute needs;
- deliver lunch to dozens of work sites and hungry volunteers!
- deliver freezer meals put together by ForColumbia volunteers for the various non-profits receiving them (see Freezer Meals #1, #2 and #3 for more details on the non-profits receiving these meals).
What should I bring?
ForColumbia will cover the cost of volunteers’ fuel.
- We encourage all volunteers to wear close-toed shoes.
- Be sure to wear your #ForColumbia2019 T-shirt!
Can my children serve with me?
Older elementary kids are welcome to join their parents on this team.
