Most everyone likes to have their birthday acknowledged, and the 38 ladies staying at the Interfaith Works Women’s Center in Rockville are no exception! Help give each month’s “birthday girls” a little party by delivering one or more of the items needed to make a fuss over their special day. Homemade or store-bought goodies are both welcome.

Please plan to drop off your contributions for this party before 6:30 pm on Wednesday (marking them: “KindWorks meal”) so the celebration can begin on time. There are refrigerators at the shelter to keep your donations cold until party time. 

To ensure that the party goes as planned and that each volunteer’s efforts are put to use, note these signup guidelines: 

• Only sign up when you are certain that the volunteer date works for you.
• Write down in your calendar what you signed up to bring.
• Remember that each volunteer participating should sign up for their own distinct volunteer spot.

Student Service Learning

Students may earn SSL hours at the following rate only for homemade goodies (students may NOT earn SSL hours for donating purchased/store-bought items): 

• baking a birthday cake or 38 cupcakes = 1 SSL hour
• preparing a fruit platter = 1 SSL hour
• making three birthday cards = 1 SSL

Safety Reminder

As with all KindWorks projects, when you register you do so with the understanding that volunteering may involve physical activity, the handling of sharp objects and cooking apparatus, the lifting of heavy objects, contact with unidentified and unfamiliar persons, and will require the exercise of reasonable care to avoid injury and/or damage, and agree to assume any and all risks of personal injury or property damage.
