Individual Volunteering
The open/public days are now posted on Volunteer Hub. Please note: to make sure there are slots available for the Catholic community, I have reserved half of the slots on open days. You will need a join code (CATHOLICHOUSE) to access these slots.
                Volunteer Hub Instructions:
2. Click on "Event Groups" under the blue banner at the top
3. Click on "1383 Hull"
Note: Some days have been filled with a group from a parish (indicated in the summary) while others have slots reserved for both Catholic and public volunteers. Slots that are Reserved, not Filled, are STILL OPEN. These slots require a join code: CATHOLICHOUSE
4. Click on Sign-Up on the day you'd like to volunteer.
5. Create an account (including orientation and quiz), noting your Parish
7. Choose a day and location and click on that day's "Sign Up" button -  the join code is CATHOLICHOUSE
8. Don't forget to unregister if plans change.
9. Have fun volunteering!




Group Volunteering
Many work days have been assigned to individual parishes, especially early in the project, but there are many still open. Maggie will continue to try to fill these by approaching parishes individually, but please let her know ASAP if you would like to reserve a day before they are gone, otherwise, she will open them up to public groups.


Financial Update
We now have $30,640 towards our fund-raising goal.  That means only $4,359 to go for the full $35,000!
If you haven't pledged and you or your parish would like to make a donation, please contact Maggie: 734.677.1558, ext. 119
