DAY OF SERVICE | 3 HOURS from 9AM - 12PM | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25th
Project Peace East Bay is pleased to welcome you to the Day of Service! Some sites will meet at different times, please check your registration confirmation.
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.
