Join the Bea Gaddy Family Center the evening before Thanksgiving and help prepare the venue for the 45th Annual Bea Gaddy Thanksgiving Dinner.
Student volunteers will assist with pre-staging and set-up to help create an organized, welcoming space for Thanksgiving Day. Tasks may include arranging tables and chairs, organizing supplies, staging food-service areas, moving materials, sorting items, and assisting with other set-up needs throughout the evening.
Through this hands-on experience, students will have the opportunity to build teamwork, responsibility, organization, communication, and problem-solving skills while making a meaningful contribution to the community.
Volunteers should be prepared to assist with lifting, carrying, sorting, organizing, and other tasks as needed throughout the event.
Special Opportunity: Students who volunteer on this date will earn DOUBLE community service hours for the time they serve.
