Posted: 3/6/2023 1:35 pm

It was such a pleasure to see so many of you at the Volunteer Appreciation Event this past Sunday! We cannot thank our volunteers enough for your time and service. We'd be lost without you!

Seeking Bag Packers!

We are looking for a few good bag packers this week, especially Thursday morning, March 9 from 9:00-10:30am. Please sign up if you can help.

Open spots for the week of March 13-17:

• Bag Packers are needed Wednesday, March 15 from 9:00 - 10:30am
• Classroom Bag Delivery at Florida Ruffin Ridley School volunteers are needed Thursday, March 16 from 3:00 - 3:30pm. Thrives bags will already be at the school. These volunteers deliver Thrives bags to the classrooms.

If you are new to Thrives, please be sure to read the requirements at the top of the Signup Genius page. Anyone under the age of 18 must complete a waiver. And any volunteer between the ages of 12-14 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Reminder, volunteers ages 12-14 are allowed for Bag Packing shifts only. For all other volunteer opportunities, individuals must be at least 15 years old.
