Need help or have a question?
As we get closer to the big weekend, our volunteer leadership team will be on the ground making it all happen—which means they may have limited capacity to respond to emails or reach out to new sign-ups directly. But don’t worry—if you’re signed up, we’re counting on you and so grateful for your help!

Just come to the Volunteer Check-In location. Our team will be there to welcome you, answer any last-minute questions, and direct you to your shift assignment. Take a look at the resources below as well:

Volunteering is one of the most powerful ways to support your community—and we’d love to have you be part of it. Come as you are and join the celebration!
