Project Day
It’s project day, and everything is going to be great! Make sure you have clear signage ready for volunteers as they arrive, along with the volunteer waiver, tools and materials, and any hospitality items placed in an easily accessible location for all participating associates. It’s also a good idea to have extra t‑shirts on hand, just in case they’re needed.
