In partnership with the Grand Rapids Dream Center, we’re hosting two Harvest Parties for 400 residents living in the Oakdale and Madison neighborhoods! There are many different volunteer opportunities for most ages and all abilities.

  • Who can volunteer? Anyone 1st grade and older.
  • Will childcare be provided? Yes, childcare is available at St Matthew.
  • What if I can’t stay the whole time? That’s ok! Serve as long as you can.
  • What if I can’t make the event? There are other ways to serve outside of this event. Check out the opportunities below.

 

Available Positions:

Games

  • Donuts on a string: kids will eat donuts tied to strings with no hands. Volunteers will tie donuts, hold poles, engage with kids and pass out prizes.
  • Glow ring toss: kids will toss glow rings onto bottles of pop. If they ring one, they win it. Volunteers will set up area, engage with kids and pass out prizes.
  • Pumpkin decorating: kids will decorate pumpkins using paint markers, sharpies and other craft items. Volunteers will help kids decorate, keep supplies stocked and engage with kids.

Nursery

  • The St Matthew nursery will be open for child care so volunteers with small children can serve at the Harvest Parties. Volunteers needed to care for kids under age 5.

Trunk or Treat

  • A great opportunity for families to serve together. Decorate your car and pass out candy to kids trick-or-treat style. Give out candy collected at church, or bring your own (plan on 150 kids).

Food

  • Volunteers needed for cooking, serving and clean up. Dinner will only be served at the Oakdale site. Menu: grilled cheese sandwiches, chips and cookies.

Activities
