A great one-time opportunity for a small group of volunteers! Gather together 2 to 6 friends, coworkers, or family members for this fun event!
Organize a game of Bingo for residents at the one of apartment buildings serving formerly homeless individuals or low income families.We provide the Bingo set; you provide the prizes and snacks!
The time commitment is two hours, which includes a short introduction to Aeon as well as event set-up, calling the Bingo game, and socializing with residents. You will help us create a fun and inviting atmosphere for our residents. Daytime, weekend and evening hours are all possible depending on current schedule.
Snacks can be as simple as homemade cookies and coffee, fresh fruit, or chips and soda.
Prizes can be anything our residents would find useful or enjoyable. Small dollar-store items are great, but the sky's the limit. Please bring about 20 items. Suggested prizes include:
· Household supplies: dish soap, dish towels, sponges, laundry soap, mops, brooms, fresh-air spray, toilet paper, garbage bags, other cleaning supplies
· Self-care items: lotion, deodorant, body wash, handsoap
