For this shift, I ended up assisting with the two races. I handed out water at the 5k race, and set up and threw colored powder at the one mile color run.

At this event I helped with a variety of tasks: I helped move race items, assisted vendors, and handed out water to the runners.

I assisted with the race day setup, specifically assisting the vendors set up their tents. It was a well-run event and the volunteer coordinator was great.

I had the opportunity to pick up trash around the liberty bowl in preparation of a gold star family memorial opening.

I was stationed by the food line, distributing t-shirts, lanyards, and lunch.

Same comments as yesterday! Great volunteering experience! It was cold and raining, but they made it clear to dress for the elements. On top of this, they had hand warmers and rain ponchos and brought me into a tent when the rain started to get bad.

Ms. Darlon Wakefield  4 years ago Thank you so much for volunteering with us again Ryan. I'm happy our instructions were clear and you were protected from the elements. Your work was well appreciated. Volunteers like you make Starry Nights a success. We look forward to having you back to volunteer with us soon.

An exceptional time at this volunteering event. I thought it was extremely well organized, and set up for volunteers very well thought out. It was easy to get there, easy to get instructions, and simple to contribute to the cost. I will absolutely go out and do this again.

I did this event with the University of Memphis NROTC unit. We went as a large group to help make food packages at their warehouse. We were able to package over 7,000 individual meals. This event was extremely well organized, and there was little wasted time. We arrived as a group and sat down to learn about the organization and the job we were to do. We all were assigned purposeful roles in packaging the meals and were given a short break in the middle of our service. Would absolutely go back to service as a group in the future.
