Special Programs of Community Thread

Annual Service Event

Community Thread holds a service day - the Spring Into Service Event - on the first Saturday of May each year. The event is a great way to get involved in your community without having to make a long-term commitment. The Spring Into Service Event is free and open to the public, and we encourage volunteers of all types to sign up - families, co-workers, youth, church groups, etc. Mark your calendars and look for more information on next year's event around the first of the year!
