Volunteer With Us!
The Fall Family Festival is a great opportunity for volunteers to meet the families, individuals, and community members that CHMK serves. Volunteers will be helping with activities such as face painting, crafts, assisting with food preparation, general sales, and checking in guests. All of the activities will have instruction at their respective table. The activities at each station are pretty straight forward – so no worries if you are not an expert face painter or peanut butter artisan! The only requirement is a friendly attitude and having fun!
