We know things sometimes happen last minute and you can't make it after saying you could, or you think you can't come and suddenly have the time to attend, which is not a problem.  That is all very understandable, but assuring them we have at least 15 volunteers helps them greatly!   Just remember, each time you know you are planning to come, you must sign up for the date and shift directly. Remember:   You will have to register as a volunteer on their website and when prompted use the code: A100.

You do not have to be a church member to help out with this rewarding project!
