Nonprofit / Mentor Fair
We hope the Day of Service inspires our attendees to want to serve in their community year-round. Our nonprofit / mentor fair is an opportunity for all of our volunteers to learn about the many organizations in our community and find one that inspires their passion.
Food Drive
We encourage all of our attendees to bring one or more items of food to donate to the food drive. Donations will be given to our Reducing Hunger Through Service partners and the Aggie Source Food Pantry.
Children's Area
We have a special area just for the kids! We will have a craft for them to create and take home. The Imagination Library will be there and families can sign up for free books to be mailed to their home every month!
Performances
From marching bands to gospel choirs, wonderful, engaging performances will be scattered throughout the afternoon.
Community Art
At the Day of Service, as a community, we will work on a collaborative art project that will then be displayed in the community.
Once you complete the one step registration you will also be emailed an event map and parking information!
