Family Volunteer Day

On November 21st, more than 220 people, some 37 groups and families, gathered together to give service. Raquel Lopez, one of our Provo VISTAs, organized Family Volunteer Day, a national day of service. The day started out with a scrumptious breakfast of pancakes followed by many different service projects. Families helped rake leaves at the cemetery, decorate organizations for Christmas, helped disabled individuals make Christmas cards and decorations, helped build houses and much more. Many VISTAs attended and lent a hand making pancakes, registering volunteers, seting-up and cleaning. It was fun to see so many happy volunteers show up with a positive attitude towards service. It is wonderful that parents were instilling the values of service in their children at a young age. Good job to Raquel for working so hard to pull off this awesome day of service.
