WE NEED YOU for Service at the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels!
In each of the last two years LARA families have volunteered 300-400 hours over the 5 weeks. It’s meaningful and we truly make a difference.
- We will be volunteering Nov 16, 23, 30 and Dec 7. We hope each team member will volunteer at least once.
- Please use the Sign-Up Genius at this link and also complete the OLA permission form here if you haven’t volunteered previously.
- We have committed to the listed slots, so please do not change your registration unless you are unexpectedly sick and please email ecollier@dom.edu if this happens.
- We are required to have a specific ratio of parents to students under 18, so our sign-ups must be accurate. You must be signed up to attend.
- These hours do count toward Arrupe requirements.
November 16 - We will help with the Thanksgiving Drive both indoors and out so dress appropriately.
November 23rd - Thanksgiving Drive Thru where more than 600 cars come to receive all of the ingredients for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, along with other things that are donated. This is outside from 11am to 3pm.
November 30th - Christmas preparations from 9am to 12pm and it will be a mix of inside and outside tasks.
December 7th - We will help with their outdoor Mobile Pantry where clothing and winter coats are given out.
