On Saturday Service Days, volunteers can expect to do anything from gardening and landscaping, to minor home repair and construction. No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn and help!

WHAT TO WEAR

Volunteers should dress to ensure safety and comfort, no matter the adventure. Be prepared for dirt, weeds, bugs, and anything else the day may bring!

Volunteers Should Wear:

·      Sturdy, closed-toe shoes or work boots – No sandals or open-toe shoes for safety.

·      Durable pants (jeans or work pants preferred) – Avoid shorts or leggings, as long pants provide better protection.

·      T-shirt or long-sleeve shirt (long sleeves preferred) – Avoid loose or baggy clothing that could get caught in tools.

Additional Recommended Gear:

·      Hat, cap, sunglasses, etc. – For sun protection when working outdoors.

·      Weather-appropriate clothing – Layers for cold weather, rain gear if necessary.

·      Work gloves (if you have them) – To protect hands from splinters, sharp edges, and rough surfaces.  

What NOT to Wear:

·      Flip-flops, sandals, or dress shoes – These do not provide proper foot protection.

·      Loose or dangling jewelry – Can pose a safety hazard.

If personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for specific tasks, it will be provided on-site. Bug spray, poison ivy repellent, and sunscreen will also be available on-site.

WHAT TO BRING

Please also bring a packed lunch and plenty of water – Volunteers will be working for extended periods, sometimes outdoors. Breaks will be provided, but food and beverages may not be available on-site.
