The following announcement was provided by the Watertown Community Foundation:
Got a to-do list that just keeps getting longer? Watertown is full of energetic volunteers willing to help get those jobs done. During our 10th annual WATERTOWN HELPS OUT the Watertown Community Foundation (WCF) will bring projects and volunteers together for a month of community service during May, 2024. We want to help connect you to the resources and people you need to get your work done.
Connect Your Organization to the Watertown Community
Volunteers can help with projects such as cleaning, trash pick-up, gardening (spring clean-up, planting, raking, pruning, etc), organizing closets/shelves, handyman work, general errands, light carpentry, delivery/posting of flyers, office work, data entry, painting or decorating projects and more. You’ll also raise awareness of your organization and strengthen your relationship with people, businesses, and employees interested in supporting your work.
BY MARCH 30, 2024: IDENTIFY A PROJECT YOU NEED HELP WITH
Watertown’s life-science companies and local businesses want to give back to Watertown by encouraging their employees to volunteer here in town. When you identify a project, we will connect you to people who care about your mission and want to help.
What you’ll do:
- Identify one or more projects volunteers can help with and provide a date and time (typically 2-3 hours)
- Fill-out the Project Request Form and submit it to WCF by March 30, 2024
- Help WCF publicize the event through your marketing channels
- Prepare to host and supervise your volunteers on the day(s) of your event(s)
- Welcome and supervise your volunteers
- Have fun!
Once you identify the project(s), the WCF will:
- Publicize the event
- Recruit volunteers and facilitate online registration
- Match volunteers with your activity and provide you with a ‘team captain’ in advance to coordinate
- Provide T-shirts
