QC Care Days with the Pomonok Community Center!
This volunteer opportunity is a bi-weekly commitment. We ask that all volunteer who sign up for this are able to commit to this bi-weekly responsibility as our community partners are important to us and when we share there will be volunteers they count on them to make sure projects are able to get done and plan around the number of volunteers they expect to have. This new initiative starts on Friday September 8th until December 1st. from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.
