27 Sep '24

Dear Community Member, As a local non-profit organization, we are looking for volunteers to help on Friday and Saturday nights in October from 6:30 to approximately midnight, for our Evil on Erie fundraiser and youth development program. In case you don't know us, we keep families in their homes by offering financial educations and housing resources. In our youth development program we teach marketable skills, such as construction, how to behave at a work space, theatrical production, and financial literacy. I have attached a sign-up link if any of your groups might be interested. We are happy to sign off on any volunteer hours they need. This is the signup sheet for haunt volunteers who want to help just 1 or a couple nights. Our volunteers receive the following: 1. Home cooked dinner 2. Snacks 3. Water 4. One free haunt ticket per volunteer night 5. The satisfaction of helping us keep families in their homes. If anyone is interested, they can just use this link to let me know. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090F48ABA722A3FB6-51285559-evil<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signu…> This is an outdoor volunteer activity, so volunteers need to dress for the weather.
