Family Volunteer Day 2019 - Red Cross Holidays for Heroes

It's HOTC Family Volunteer Day! Families of all shapes and sizes (work, church, home, friends) are encouraged to volunteer together to create lasting memories and experiences through community service. You will write letters and make holiday cards for service men and women who are away from their families, friends and homes. Please meet in the Children's Story Time Room at 10:30 a.m. Learn more about Holidays for Heroes here: http://www.redcross.org/volunteer/volunteer-opportunities/holidays-for-heroes

Beforehand from 9:30-10:30, join us at the courtyard behind the Visitor's Center/Municipal Audiutorium (144 E. Jackson Street) to create posters. Then at 10:00 a.m. you will head down to Broad Street for the Veterans Parade and hold up your posters to show your support for the men and women who served our country. Interested?

Recommended for all ages. Under 16 must be accompanied by an adult volunteer. This is a no-frills service opportunity. Please bring anything you will need to be comfortable (bottled water, hat, etc.), wear appropriate attire and closed-toe shoes. If you have an HOTC t-shirt (any year, any program) this would be a great time to wear it! HOTC t-shirts are available on a first-come, first-served basis for those who did not receive one on HOTC Day in October (while supplies last). Groups larger than 10 interested in volunteering should call the HOTC office at (229) 226-5200.
