Call for Mulch Sale Volunteers + Food Donations
Our sign-up link for volunteers and food donations will be live soon.
We will need adult and student volunteers to make mulch delivery happen! We'll be outside at FCHS all day (in shifts) as teams of students and the adults with them load and deliver bags of mulch. Join other make-it-happen folks and have a great time!
Do you have experience driving a box truck? Do you have a pick-up truck that you'd be willing to volunteer for small deliveries near FCHS? Can you help with the food table, drive students or provide food?
Please send questions to mulch@fchsptsa.org
