You're Invited! Pop-Up Volunteer Parties Start Next Week
Ed. Note: This post is from the 2016 Pop Up Volunteer Parties. If you're looking for 2017's information, click here.
Volunteer Odyssey is hosting a series of pop-up volunteer parties and you (and everyone you know) are totally invited! The first one is Monday, November 21st from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and free pizza is involved.
Volunteer Pop-Up Parties are the fastest, easiest way to volunteer in Memphis. Here's how it works: Head to The 101 Pop Up space on Main Street (across the street from Aldo's Pizza) during one of the four sessions, sign in, and complete one of the mini-projects to help out a local non-profit.
That's it. Boom. You just gave back, and it only took a couple of minutes.
Here are the dates and times:
- Monday, November 21st from 11-2pm (lunch break!)
- Tuesday, November 29th from 11-2pm (It's Giving Tuesday! lunch break!)
- Tuesday, November 29th from 5-8pm (It's Giving Tuesday! happy hour!)
- Tuesday, December 6th from 5-8pm (happy hour!)
Volunteer Odyssey will be there with easy projects set up and ready to go. There will be photo ops (think a "giving back" wall, plus the I Love Memphis mobile mural!)
I'll be there with free ILM stickers and very limited number of t-shirts for sale, plus debuting two new shirts and the e-store (finally!)
And get this: if you complete one of the projects on Monday, Nov. 21 during lunch, you can redeem a token for a FREE slice of pizza at Aldo's. If you complete a project on Tuesday, Nov. 29 you can redeem a token for a $3 draft beer at Aldo's.*** Check the bottom of this post for details.
Here are some project examples (not all of these projects are available every day)
- Paint 901 Rocks (Tuesday, Nov 29th - Evening)
- Make toys for dogs and cats at the Humane Society (Tuesday, Dec 6th - Evening)
- Write inspirational messages on Bouquets of Hope for Catholic Charities
- Design holiday cards for retirement communities
- Prepare mailers for Memphis Libraries & LITE Memphis
We'll have volunteer projects as short as 101 seconds.
Let me give a huge shout-out to all the sponsors, including CBIZ MHM and Aldo's Pizza. And thanks to Volunteer Odyssey for letting me partner up with them on this.
