Volunteer Blitz Month
Part of our parish vision statement asserts, “We are Grace, grounded in faith and relentless in compassion.”
So let’s spend the month of November letting our actions prove our words!! November has been designated as our Volunteer Blitz month for 2026.
Last year, Grace parishioners logged an amazing 1,000 volunteer hours in just six weeks! This year, we’re raising the bar: 1,000 HOURS IN 4 WEEKS!
Can we do it? Absolutely—but we need everyone to pitch in!
If you are already volunteering somewhere regularly, please log these hours via the online form below or a paper form at the information station at church. If not, the Outreach Committee can supply a list of places where you might volunteer and a contact person at each agency to reach out to.
You are welcome to fill out this form as you go, weekly, or wait until the end of the month to log all hours at the same time.
