Volunteer Opportunites

Message from Emily Petway from GiveNKing that our club supports:

We are seeing a heavy increase in orders and goods coming in our door as the holidays are upon us and the community need is heightened. To meet the need and our desire to move more product out so more can come in, we are looking to increase the number of volunteers we have during our regular volunteer hours this holiday season. Volunteer sessions are available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at GiveNKind (1000 Asbury Dr., Suite 5, Buffalo Grove).

Sign up here: www.givenkind.org/volunteer

Please sign up invidually if you can help - they could not accomodate us as a group.

Upcoming Events

SAVE THE DATE - December 18 for our club's holiday party at Continental at 6 pm.

Let's get a table or two together for this fun event to support Omni!!

See Deenie to join to support this grant recipient!
