EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Join us for our second annual Fast and Furriest 5K: Run. Walk. Wag, on May 21, 2017 at Assembly Row in Somerville! Whether you walk, run, or wag your way along the scenic route near the Mystic River, with every step you take you’ll be making a difference for thousands of animals in need. All funds raised will benefit the animals served by the MSPCA-Angell in its adoption centers, hospitals, and programs.
WHAT WE'LL BE DOING:Volunteers are needed to help with set up and break-down, as well as assisting with cheering sections, food distribution, and medal distribution.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:There will be dogs at this event, but MSPCA-Angell asks that volunteers do not bring their own pets. Some positions involve heavy lifting and or standing for long periods of time.
WHERE TO MEET:The event will be held at Assembly Row, 698 Assembly Row Somerville, MA. The nearest MBTA stop is the Assembly Row station on the Orange Line. Upon arrival, volunteers should check at the volunteer check-in table. The Event Manager will provide more details about the meeting location as this event gets closer.

Mission Statement
One Brick provides support to local non-profit and community organizations by creating a unique, social and flexible volunteer environment for those interested in making a concrete difference in the community. We enable people to get involved, have an impact and have fun, without the requirements of individual long-term commitments.
Description
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, One Brick is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that brings volunteers together to support other local non-profits by adopting an innovative twist to the volunteer experience: we create a friendly and social atmosphere around volunteering, and after each volunteer event -- which typically lasts only 3 to 4 hours -- we invite volunteers to gather at a local restaurant or caf where they can get to know one another in a relaxed social setting.
Our 'commitment-free volunteering' allows you to choose when you volunteer, rather than having to make commitments for a certain number of volunteer hours, or agree to be available every week at a specific time.
