The Great Day of Service, sponsored by Beyond Our Walls, is gearing up for its 4th annual event – to be held on Columbus Day, Monday, October 13. The day will provide an opportunity for people to come together to work side-by-side, assisting agencies and organizations in need of community service through a work project.
Last year over 500 volunteers participated at more than 20 different work sites, mostly in the East Bay area. From painting kennels at the SPCA to making and delivering pizzas to group homes; from sandwich making for the homeless to cleaning up trash at beaches and parks; and much, much more – that’s what a Great Day of Service is all about.
This year we are expanding into the Providence area with a growing list of work sites, including the RI Community Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity and Crossroads RI!
We invite everyone to participate in the Blood Drive through the RI Blood Center at a Great Day of Service! Please consider making a blood donation during event check-in and kickoff in both Barrington AND Providence from 8-9am.
