Family Volunteer Day is a day of service
that demonstrates and celebrates the power of families who volunteer together,
supporting their neighborhoods, communities and the world.
The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley celebrated the power of families on Saturday, December 5 from 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. at 220 E. Fourth Street, Waterloo. Families had the opportunity to put together literacy kits for our community’s most recent residents, made warm fleece scarves for residents of shelters, crafted seasonal decorations for nursing homes, made cat toys for the Cedar Bend Humane Society, constructed bird feeders, and made place mats for meals on wheels recipients. The families were very engaged and discussed the value of days for families to volunteer together.
“As the need for service continues to grow, we work to bring families together to give back and make an impact on our local communities,” said Lauren Finke, the Executive Director of the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley. “On December 5 and throughout the year, we are seeing families using the power of service to make a real difference in our local communities.”
Family Volunteer Day is strategically held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving to “kick-off” the holiday season by giving and service. Unfortunately, due to extensive snowfall, the event was rescheduled for December 5. Family Volunteer Day is presented by generationOn and sponsored by Disney Friends for Change.
