Over the years, WVCS has developed relationships with local grocery stores to provide clients with fresh produce and bread, things that many typical food pantries cannot provide. In order to provide these goods to clients, we need people to help us pick up these donated items and bring them into the food pantry.

We are looking for volunteers to pick up donations from local grocery stories (using our company van or personal vehicle) and then deliver the goods to WVCS. This is a great opportunity for volunteers that like to get moving early in the morning or the afternoon, but might have limited time to volunteer.

Available shifts include:
Mondays @ 8:30AM-9:30AM
Mondays @ 9:00AM-10:00AM
Tuesdays @ 8:30AM-9:30AM
Wednesdays @ 8:00AM-9:00AM
Fridays @ 8:00AM-9:00AM

Substitute volunteers always needed!

The greatest beach party in the country is once again coming to Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square July 18–20.

Yoshida's Sand in the City features fun for all ages with incredible sand sculptures, interactive youth exhibits, live music, entertainment and more!

The excitement begins on Friday, July 18th, when amateur corporate-sponsored teams have only six hours to build an elaborate sand sculpture, designed with the help of an architect and sand All Star. The teams will have trained and practiced for more than six weeks in an attempt to win the coveted Golden Shovel award. Competition is fierce on building day!

In addition to the visually stunning sand sculptures, Yoshida’s Sand in the City hosts outstanding activities for kids at the Children’s Inspiration Village. Families can interact with the Communities for Safe Kids puppets, experiment with science and do sand art projects! After enjoying food and drinks, kids can build their own castle in our giant Sand Box, have their face painted, or take in one of our live performances happening all weekend.

This year, Yoshida’s Sand in the City will award grants to 5 local children’s charities who do important work. The charities benefiting from this year’s event are: Angels in the Outfield-support for children that are victims of crime or child abuse; Forward Stride-after school therapeutic horseback riding program for children; Friendly House After School Program (Project Return)-an after-school program for at-risk children; Communities for Safe Kids-an innovative, educational program that draws from the latest research on violence prevention using puppetry.

Check out www.sandinthecitypdx.org for updated information on the weekend, to learn how to participate in the excitement and to learn more about the incredible organizations helped by this annual family event.

Hi, we are looking for someone to help us with our very first mobile autism app Autiknow with a product launch. It has recently been accepted into Apple iTunes, Google Play & AmazonSmiles. This app takes a child from early diagnosis through adulthood and is based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) which is the only evidence based methodology to teach persons with autism. We have successfully piloted the app in Boston Public Schools and have received 2 Software Trademarks. The app is intuitive, engaging, and a huge cost savings for school districts, parents/caregivers etc. One of the greatest features aside from the children's success is the built in Dashboard within the app that keeps massive amounts of data on the unique cognitive processes of each individual. We plan on making our data available to scientists, researchers, doctors, mathematicians etc in order for them to look at autism differently. We believe we are opening a new window into autism. We are not trying to cure autism but what are proving in our research is that given the tools (tech) at an early age these individuals with autism have the goods! Thank you for any support you may provide us. We are a very small volunteer non profit and are seeking consultations or support from anyone with expertise in a mobile product launch, PR & Marketing, Business Plan, Board Development and Development help in order to continue to pursue our mission.

Volunteer to accompany at risk youth in the San Francisco Bay Area on mountain bike rides. During these adventures, youth have fun while challenging themselves, gaining confidence, riding skills, a greater appreciation for the natural world, and exposure to the lifelong joys and benefits of exercise.

Rides can take place any day of the week. Volunteers need to bring their own bike, helmet, lunch and water. We take groups of inner-city and under-served youth between the ages of 10 to 17 on rides to China Camp State Park, Tennessee Valley, Point Pinole Regional Park, Rush Creek Trail and Golden Gate Park. We supply bikes and gear for the kids. Specially trained TFK Staff Ride Leaders guide each ride, with assistance from our volunteers.

You’re invited to join Starlight’s festive fun run to raise funds to brighten the lives of poorly children in London’s hospitals & hospices this Christmas.

Building on the success of Starlight’s first ever 12 Days of Christmas Run in 2012, Starlight Children’s Foundation and Canary Wharf Group are delighted to announce that the hugely popular event will be back for a second year!

Taking place at 12:12pm on Thursday 12 December, this unique 1.2 mile fun run will see hundreds of festive runners complete a course around the Canary Wharf business and shopping district. Individual runners and corporate teams are all welcome – the only appeal is that participants dress up as one of the categories from the popular Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas!

Whether you decide to enter as 2 Turtle Doves, 5 Gold Rings, 7 Swans A-Swimming or even a Partridge in a Pear Tree, costumes are likely to be festively fantastic as runners compete for the hotly contested best dressed prize on the day!

Starting and finishing at the sparkling Canary Wharf Ice Rink in Canada Square Park, the run is guaranteed to get everyone in the Christmas spirit, with City restaurant Boisdales of Canary Wharf providing post-race refreshments. And if you don’t fancy running, come along and support the teams – the more the merrier! You can cheer on the runners and then afterwards throw your best Torvill and Dean shapes on the ice, enjoy a mulled wine and mince pie and then finish off your Christmas shopping at the Canary Wharf mall.

So dig out your Christmas fancy dress outfit, put on your running shoes, and come and join in the fun in Canary Wharf – prizes will be awarded for the best costumes on the day!
