A DAY OF SERVICE!
Join us for a joyful day of service where WE women come together to make a meaningful difference—one small project at a time. Small teams of helping hands will form to tackle simple, doable tasks that can truly lighten someone’s load. Examples include: organizing books, offering tech support, planning a flowerbed, freshening up a closet, or even making a cheerful home visit. One supportive visit can accomplish so much! Whether you’d like to host a project that would make your life easier or volunteer to be part of a helping team, there’s a place for you. We’ll wrap up by celebrating and swapping stories of what we accomplished – together.
