No Images? Click here We've been certified! Team Giving has completed our national certification to become a Service Enterprise, a nonprofit that fundamentally leverages volunteers to more efficiently meet our mission to connect volunteers, empower nonprofits, and strengthen communities. Learn more about certification and volunteering for Team Giving on our volunteer program page! Did you know we have a rescue squad? Sometimes our nonprofit partners get stuck in a bind -- maybe a volunteer group cancels, or a delivery comes late, or their RSVP doubles unexpectedly -- and they need some volunteer heroes! Join our rescue squad to be notified of these last-minute needs when they come up. Joining the squad does not commit yourself to volunteering, it just makes sure you're aware when an opportunity arises! Planning ahead for the holidays? So are we! This special season is around the corner, and it is time to get planning! If your nonprofit is hosting any holiday events and will need volunteers, please contact our office. The best time to recruit volunteers is before the busy season gets underway. Call our office at 916-824-2118 to discuss your volunteer needs with our staff. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY SPOTLIGHT Race Timers for Obstacle Course Fitness should be fun! Youth ages 6-15 will race ½ mile over 10-15 obstacles, including a mud crawl, at the Sacramento Adventure Playground. To put on this adventurous new event, we need race timers and assistants age 16 & up. Tree Planting in Maidu Park Volunteers of all ages can lend a hand! Roseville Urban Forest Foundation (RUFF) is working to improve the tree canopy. Volunteers will learn how to plant baby trees that will benefit our community for generations to come! We proudly support Team Giving and appreciate their ongoing commitment to nonprofit organizations. Volunteering is a priority at Patelco, and Team Giving is a valuable partner for helping us connect with the community.
