Join us for our 3rd annual 24-hour Volunteer-a-thon on North Texas Giving Day!! On September 18th, the Communities Foundation of Texas hosts North Texas Giving Day to empower every person to give back to their community by supporting local nonprofits and causes. On this day of giving, we are celebrating our volunteers by hosting fun-filled volunteer shifts around the clock!
It's time to give hunger a red card!
This shift is soccer themed, so grab your cleats and help us blow the final whistle on hunger! Volunteers are encouraged to participate in the theme by wearing jerseys and gear to rep your favorite soccer team.
This opportunity takes place at our Distribution Center, which is located at 3677 Mapleshade Lane, Plano, TX 75075.
