DAY OF SERVICE | 3 HOURS from 9AM - 12PM | SATURDAY, AUGUST 9th

Project Peace East Bay is pleased to welcome you to the Day of Service! Come help our school partners start the year off right!

To donate backbacks or supplies, go here: https://www.projectpeace.org/summer

Please be sure you can commit to this date before signing up so we don’t let down our partners. Our sites count on every one of you to be there as we have limited volunteer spots at each location. 

What is a Day of Service?

Come get your hands dirty! We've got all kinds of projects where we could use your help! Just register and show up to help with projects for 3 hours on a Saturday morning.

Our Day of Service connects East Bay faith-based groups and community members with schools and non-profits. We tackle their needs to help support work in education, homelessness, youth development, and more.

Our vision is for a more economically and socially sustainable East Bay, and we believe that begins with rolling up our sleeves and working together in our local community. We come together across backgrounds and take ownership of the communities we live in.

What does a Day of Service look like?

Typical activities include:

  • Landscaping
  • Book sorting
  • Cleaning
  • Organizing
  • Painting
  • Bringing donated items per community sites' requests

You can look forward to:

  • Getting your hands dirty addressing real needs, right here in your neighborhood.
  • Learning about great work happening at your site.
  • Coming together to serve our shared community with people from different backgrounds.

Important Reminders

1) This event is free, but sites have limited volunteer spots. Please register in advance so that you (and your friends) can be sure to serve at the site that most interests you.

2) Children need to be registered (except Littles under 5). Please check posted age requirements. There will be no childcare, but supervised children are welcome at most sites unless posted otherwise. 

3) All volunteers are reminded to follow any health & safety protocols that your site requires, since they serve vulnerable communities.
