Thank you for signing up to serve during Homeward Bound 2017! We LOVE loving on our own community during this fun seven days of local community service.
We are continually adding new projects to the list, and as we work throughout the week, projects change, finish early, grow unexpectedly or become moving targets, depending on the number of volunteers that show up each day and what kinds of needs arise as we work. Please sign up for the projects you are interested in and have a skill to share, but be prepared to be flexible and ready to serve wherever is needed that day, too.
Unless otherwise noted, projects begin right after breakfast. If you can’t join us from the state, please just note when you’ll be available that day and we’ll plug you in to a project when you arrive!
