SSL Opportunities at Blair
On Thursday, February 13th, Arcola ES will be hosting a Capital Area Food Bank. Volunteers will be responsible for arriving to Arcola at 3:45 pm and staying until 6:30 pm. Students will help set up tables, organize and distribute food, and clean up at the end of the night. If there is left over food, volunteers may take food home. Students must bring their own bags to take food home. SSL forms will be signed and passed out at the end of the event.
The google form will close once I have enough volunteers.
