How: We will send a group of volunteers to your worksite with the goal of having them finish your project in 4 hours time. For over 10 years, students of NC State University have come together with volunteers from the community to provide a day of service to the Raleigh area. We are currently in the process of recruiting partner organizations and their service projects. Projects in the past have included such tasks as planting trees, picking up litter along a lake, and organizing a food pantry. Service Raleigh targets non-profit organizations that serve Raleigh year-round and public entities such as schools and parks. If your organization has a need that can be met by a group of volunteers on March 26th please register at www.serviceraleigh.org under the Projects link. All that we ask in return is that your organization provides all tools and supplies needed to tackle your project. Also if at all possible, we strongly encourage our Partner organizations to supply their volunteers with a very basic lunch. Thank you for your time, and we hope to see you on March 26!
