Let's do some service!
Hi again!
So I've done some research, and long story short, these are the places I've picked out to spend my time this summer. Below is a little blurb about each after a schedule of where and when I'm going to be at each one. You can see more info about each place if you click on the links in the schedule.
Clothes to Kids-
What it is: A clothes shop for underprivileged preteens/teens.
What a volunteer does: Stocking, sorting donations, "personal shopper" (helping customers), etc.
If you want to help: Call to let them know you're coming, and show up with a volunteer form!
Habitat ReStore-
What it is: A thrift shop to raise money for building houses.
If you can't come at the times I'm volunteering, I strongly encourage you to volunteer at a time that works for you :) If you can, let me know! Call, text, Facebook...I can't wait to hear from you!
Also, these are great places with great causes- but they're certainly not the only ones. If you're interested in other kinds of service, different locations, etc., I suggest the volunteer guide on Serve Colorado.
As always, let me know if you have any questions!!!
Lots of love,
Caryn

Hi gang! For the next 6 weeks I plan to go on a volunteering escapade at lots of different sites- if you're interested in doing community service with me for a day or even for an hour, let me know and we'll coordinate! I'd love to work with anyone willing to give a little bit of themselves to a good cause :)
