In strange times, we have to get creative! Below you will find opportunities in the community to volunteer. All of these opportunities are geared toward the safety of our community while creating opportunities for each of us to make a contribution and stay connected. We appreciate the help and hope to add more items to the list as the weeks unfold.
St. George Community Development Corporation requires ALL volunteers to follow current CDC guidelines for COVID 19. You should always plan on wearing your mask and socially distancing with anyone outside of your household when volunteering. All volunteers are required to complete our screening form before entering our facility, before obtaining any items from our facility for re-packing, and well…just anytime you are planning on volunteering. THANK YOU for offering your time to support our community and our mission.
