Community Service

Upcoming Community Service Opportunities:

1.) On Saturday, 9/14, I will be going to Stop and Shop from 9am-1pm to collect donations from shoppers to support Swampscott's Anchor Food Pantry. I will need 12 volunteers, 6 for the morning shift (9am-11am), and 6 for the afternoon shift (11am-1pm). After each shift, I will need each set of 6 volunteers to go back to the pantry to unload and stock the items that will be collected on 9/14. If you would like to volunteer on 9/14, please sign up here. 


2.) On Saturday, 9/21, from 9-10am we have reserved a spot to participate in SPUR's Land and Sea Cleanup. We are responsible for cleaning up Phillips Beach and Preston Beach. One group will clean up Phillips Beach and another group will clean up Preston Beach. Each group should have a minimum of 10 student volunteers. An SMS chaperone will volunteer at each site to supervise students. If you would like to participate in this effort on 9/21, please sign up here.
