Beyond Our Walls home pageIntroducing a Great Day of Service
The interfaith organization Beyond Our Walls is gearing up for its 5th annual Great Day of Service which will take place on Columbus Day, Monday, October 12, 2009. The day will provide an opportunity for people to come together to work side-by-side, assisting agencies and organizations in need of community service through a work project. Last year over 700 volunteers participated at more than 40 different work sites throughout Rhode Island. Projects ranged from apartment renovations at Crossroads RI in North Kingstown to park beautification in East Providence; from sandwich making for the homeless to cleaning up trash at beaches and parks; to creating care packages for service men and women stationed overseas and spending quality time with Veterans in Bristol; and MUCH, MUCH MORE: that’s what a Great Day of Service is all about. Online registration will begin September 1, 2009. Please visit www.greatdayofservice.com to learn more and get involved. Worksite information will be available online when registration opens on September 1st. Everyone can participate – there’s an activity for all ages and abilities. Email greatday@greatdayofservice.com with questions. We look forward to seeing you on Monday October 12, 2009! Beyond Our Walls is an interfaith organization that acts as a catalyst for change in the local community and beyond. We will connect to, support, and empower those in need and collaborate in finding solutions to local and global issues. We are committed to working together to learn from and about one another while respecting the beliefs of all, using our faith to guide us.
