Are you looking to increase the awareness of your organization within your community?  Do you need additional funding?  Do you want to develop long term volunteering relationships?  Plan a family volunteering project around Family Volunteer Day for our Volunteer-a-thon!  Family volunteering projects can enable individuals, youth and families to help your organization increase community understanding of your mission, and funding to help you achieve your mission.  Here are a few ideas:

• Families can help decorate for the holidays
• Families can work together to conduct repairs or paint within your facility
• Families can plant gardens
• Families can wrap gifts
• Families can conduct drives
• Families can help with fundraisers
• Families can help plan a party
• Families can participate in a sing-a-long
• Families can teach craft projects, computer skills, or participate in a show

The most important thing to remember is to make the project work for you.   Families can help in so many ways, the possibilities are endless. Please give us a call at (508) 405-2220, or email hjack@thevolunteerfamily.org if you need help brainstorming about more ways the Volunteer-a-thon can help you raise money and develop family volunteering relationships!
