Every month, Glendale Elementary School District hold food distributions where they hand out 350+ food boxes to the community. The need for food boxes has increased steadily along with the need for volunteer support to get food to families effectively. There are two opportunities to help with each distribution; one day would be the packing of the food boxes and the following day would be handling the boxes out to the community. Below are the dates for the food distributions. 10-15 volunteers are needed for each volunteer opportunity. To register, please complete the

Community Engagement is currently recruiting volunteers to help with a neighborhood beautification project. Volunteer tasks may include painting of address numbers on curbs, moving rock into bare yards, weeding and general landscaping. The project will be in the area of 71st Avenue and Bethany Home Road with volunteers meeting in a centralized location and will then disperse to their assigned houses and tasks. Individual beautification projects will be spread out over a few blocks and volunteers may need transportation from the meeting location to the projects. Please wear clothing that can get dirty, closed toe shoes, sunscreen and a hat.
Can't make it to the beautification project but want to help out? We have additional volunteer opportunities to help lay weed barrier to prepare yards for rock landscaping for those homeowners who are physically unable to prepare their yards. The weed barrier will be placed a few days prior to the beautification project. These opportunities are available on Thursday, March 27th and Friday, March 28th starting at 8am-11am.
