Join Your AZ Spartans in Giving Back

For our annual MSU Global Day of Service, we will be partnering with ASU Project Humanities Service on Saturday, April 6. We will support them by distributing clothing & toiletries for those in the homeless population. Volunteers aged 8 and above are welcome!

ASU Project Humanities efforts focus on providing clothing, toiletries, and other items to an unstable adult population in Phoenix. This will be the 2nd year that AZ Spartans has partnered with ASU Project Humanities to distribute clothing and other items to the adults who attend the outreach days. This could also include set-up and organization of tables that display the donations, interacting with the people they serve, and generally offering support to ensure the service day runs smoothly.

The event begins at 6:30 a.m. with the set-up and organization of materials, followed by the distribution process, and is completed at 8:30 a.m.

The event will take place outdoors, and you are encouraged to dress appropriately for the Phoenix temperatures—casual clothing/shoes, along with an MSU hat or shirt, if you have them! Street parking is limited. Suggested parking on 12th Avenue between Washington & Jefferson, or on 11th Avenue between Jefferson & Madison.

MSU volunteers will meet at the Southeast corner of 12th Avenue & Jefferson at 6:20am.

Manistee Spartans will be volunteering at our local Vogue theater by greeting customers by holding doors and taking tickets, recycling cardboard at the local recycling center, interior spring cleaning of windows and baseboards and exterior cleaning if the weather permits. The Vogue theater is a small town treasure in Manistee that collaborates with many area organizations for the greater good of our community.

Manistee Spartans will also be holding a pet food drive for local non profit organization, "Hearts for Critters" which provides pet food for families in need.

Help Serve Lunch at Central Union Mission

Washington , DC

03/23/2019

Help prepare and serve lunch at Central Union Mission, which helps homeless men get back on their feet through a range of services as well as low-income families.

We will be preparing and serving lunch to homeless and struggling individuals in their kitchen, so please dress appropriately (closed toed shoes, bring something to tie your hair back if it's long, etc.)

We're supposed to ask all volunteers to read the Volunteer Agreement and Release. The basics are that kids younger than 12 can't work in the kitchen, and kids younger than 17 need to be accompanied by an adult. Also, you grant Central Union Mission permission to take and use photos and videos of you (I've volunteered there half a dozen times and that's never happened, but it's in the agreement.)

You can read the whole agreement here: https://missiondc.wildapricot.org/Resources/Documents/volunteer_release_online.pdf
