Day of Action - October 2

DAY OF ACTION 2020: COVID-19 UPDATE

Due to COVID-19, our annual Day of Action will look much different this year. With the safety and best interests of our volunteers and nonprofit partners in mind, we will not be hosting in-person volunteer projects as we have in past years. Instead we are coordinating a socially-distanced drop-off of urgently needed items to benefit several local nonprofits that are providing critical services for those most affected by COVID-19.
 
When: Friday, October 2 from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm.
 
Where: Frederick Keys - Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium
Secondary Parking Lot (rear/lower lot off of New Design Road and behind the right field wall)
 
 
If you or your company would like to participate in collecting urgently needed items, please view the list of items needed by each participating nonprofit:
