Choose from two dozen meaningful, hands-on service opportunities designed for grandparents, parents, young adults, teens, and children. As you serve alongside others, take time to ask, “What brought you here today?” and share your own story of why serving matters to you.\nThe event is FREE and open to the public. A complimentary chili lunch will be served, and student service hours are available. Pre-registration is strongly recommended. Register for the morning session (8:30 am – 12:30 pm), the afternoon session (12:30 – 4:30 pm), the full day, or an off-site activity.
