The Call to Service Event

Kit Assembly: Last year, volunteers successfully assembled 3,000 snack packs for local nonprofits and schools supporting youth and families facing food insecurity. This year, the goal is even higher — help assemble both back-to-school supply kits and snack packs to meet growing community needs and show our united spirit!
Discover & Connect: Meet United Way’s nonprofit partners from the United Neighborhoods program. Explore interactive booths, learn about local initiatives, and participate in fun activations.
Bingo & Prizes: Pick up a bingo card, visit nonprofit booths to get it stamped, and enter to win exciting prizes when you complete your card!
Family Friendly: Registration is required for each attendee. Parents and guardians, please register children under 18 if attending with you and acknowledge the volunteer waiver. You’ll serve as their chaperone during the event.
