Volunteer

Engage in the life of your community and have a blast at the same time! On Friday May 1, 2009 and Saturday, May 2, 2009, join with thousands of other volunteers from around the region to serve at nonprofit organizations and public schools providing critical community services. Like walkathons and rideathons, Servathon helps raise money for Greater DC Cares to provide volunteer services for the rest of the year.

May 1-2nd, 2009

Join us for Servathon 2009! Paint and landscape schools, build a playground, serve food, clean parks, plant trees or build computer labs! Together, we will provide local nonprofits with critically needed volunteer service and make a huge impact in just two days!
Just like a walk-a-thon, Servathon is also Greater DC Cares’ major fundraising event of the year. The money you raise helps connect volunteers to nonprofits throughout 2009 and beyond! We ask each volunteer to raise a minimum of $100. While not mandatory, your help makes a huge difference.

Support Servathon

The money you raise for Servathon will allow Greater DC Cares to continue to provide critical services to the region. If each volunteer raises $100, we can:

Implement 1,000 volunteer projects throughout the region;
Help provide 36,000 meals to people who are homeless or living with HIV/AIDS and other illnesses;
Provide free tools to more than 200 local nonprofits through our tool “lending library” so they can upgrade their facilities;
Connect skilled volunteers — professionals in areas like technology, fundraising and marketing — to more than 115 nonprofits to help build their capacity;
Paint 3,000 classrooms in local public schools;
And so much more!
