Event Calendar
Register early as events fill quickly. Once registered, you will receive an email about one week before the event with last minute details such as where to meet, what to bring, etc.
As someone in Richmond is counting on you, please follow through on your commitment. Houses are built on time, additional children are fed, and more of the elderly have the attention they need, when you attend an event you have agreed to. Once you have registered, if you find you can not attend, contact Volunteer Opportunities asap at (804) 828-3648.
