Volunteers are needed for marketing, sponsor relations, raffle management, participant management, t-shirt management, course set-up/monitors/sweep, finish line/results management, awards management, photography and clean up. Late November is very cold, especially at 8:45am! So sign up, bundle up and join us for this spirited event.

North State Giving Tuesday.
Held the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, this social media based fundraiser allows for donor dollars to grow with incentive pool funds from the Community Foundation of the North State. We welcome volunteers with social media expertise to join us on the day of the event, from 6am to 6pm to keep the interest fresh with hourly posts. Great imagination and a big heart for what we do will add to your effectiveness on our team.

Are you a student looking to log volunteer hours towards a focus on nonprofit organizations? We have a great successful model to share if you want to dive in and offer hands-on learning! Contact our Director, Kitzie Whitton at 530-408-6115.

Several different projects are done throughout the year that may be of interest to you. All are in need of volunteers.

Summer Lunch program benefits children 18 & under. The meals have to be prepared, packaged, transported, distributed and the sites cleaned. Also, teams are welcome to lead enrichment activities for the kids. This project is fun, and allows kids who normally get meals at school to be nourished properly over the Summer break.

Thanksgiving Box Distribution.
Every year we provide the ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner to be prepared at home. This is the only distribution of its kind in south Siskiyou County, and we've been doing it for 17 years. Preparation involves food ordering, transportation, unloading at site, setting up assembly tables, and box assembly prior to distribution day. We use a drive-thru format, so registration and box delivery are handled by volunteers outside in our parking lot. Then there is always clean-up. If you would like to make many local families very happy, try this out!

Our Pantry Manager schedules volunteers, call 530-408-6115 to find out current needs. Pantry is open for distributions on Wednesdays from 11 - 3, volunteers work a variety of positions, some lifting (up to 25 lbs.). Join this group of dedicated servants serving their neighbors in need. FUN is involved!
