Volunteer roles will be things like running scoreboards, selling concessions, and lots more. It's sure to be a fun weekend for everyone involved, including our volunteers. 

Teacher Supply Depot is changing its floor plan and needs help setting up the new store. Volunteers will be asked to move and unpack boxes, place supplies on shelves, and break down boxes. We have dollies and carts, but some light lifting may be necessary.

We are located at 709 N Cedar Bluff Rd, attached to Cedar Bluff Pre-K. Your GPS will take you to the pre-k entrance where you will see a playground; instead, go down to the last entrance coming from the interstate. You will see the Teacher Supply Depot sign on the side of the building. There is parking in a small lot at the depot, but if it is full, you may park in the grass alongside the road. 

Ring the bell when you arrive to be let in.

Volunteers should wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

Lakeshore Park Conservancy is always in need of volunteers to help with daily maintenance and care for the Park. Join us for Weeding Wednesday to help our grounds crew with various projects within the Park. Projects may include weeding, planting, mulching, and other outdoor tasks needed around the 185-acre Lakeshore Park. Volunteers should wear weather appropriate clothing & shoes (you may get dirty!) and bring a water bottle. Our team will have all the other supplies you need. An email will be sent the day prior to your shift indicating where to meet and a sign will be placed on the door of the Lakeshore Park Office building by the pickleball courts showing where to go.

This event includes over twenty different obstacles, rolling trails on a marked course, and even a dip in the lake!  From Adversity Hill to the Tire Traverse and the A-Frame Climb, runners 8+ years old can sign up to race independently or with a team. Costumes are encouraged and the most creative could even win an award! Vendors, music, and refreshments will be onsite for participants and their fans, friends, and families to enjoy along with the beautiful views. In addition to our 5K course, we will also host our second annual Fun Run for anyone 4+ years old! This Fun Run will take place right after the 5K, will be a bit over a mile long, and will include several of our obstacles! How fun!

The money raised from the event will support Harmony’s therapeutic programming at Camp Montvale which includes our equine therapy program and therapeutic camps for foster and adoptive children and families. 

Clean litter from the road side and the hill below the observation deck.  All materials will be provided, wear sturdy shoes, bring water and dress for the weather.

Participants run either a 5K or 10K run on the hike/bike trails through Sharp's Ridge Veteran Memorial Park.  

Volunteers are needed to help with registration, manage cross street traffic, monitor and pass out water on the trails.  Volunteer time is approximately 7:15-noon.  Some later arrival will depend on the job the volunteer is doing.
