We are excited to announce the first QR Serves event to help the Elk Grove Community!
Event: Leaf raking for elderly parishioners who live near the school
Date: Sunday, November 18th after the 10:00 a.m. mass
Participants: We are in need of student volunteers from 5th through 8th grades
Details: QR Serves has committed to raking leaves for 3 parishioner households. We are looking for a minimum of 5-6 student volunteers for each household so that the work can be done simultaneously. We will gladly accept more volunteers than that. Volunteers (and their families) are invited/encouraged to attend 10:00 a.m. mass as a group, and then we will need the students dropped off at their assigned residence. If not attending mass, the students can be dropped off at the assigned residence at 11:15. All 3 houses are within a few blocks of the Church.
Student volunteers just need to make sure they dress appropriately (e.g. sweatshirts and coats, hats to cover ears if cold, gloves to protect hands, even if not cold). Rakes will be provided. Leaves will be raked to the curb (i.e. no bagging of leaves to be done). Parents are also welcome to join in. Volunteers will need to be picked up from the residence, likely around 1:30.
Please use this on-line sign-up sheet to volunteer your child.
Please sign up by Wednesday, November 14th, so we can have an accurate count and assign volunteers to residences.
As a Catholic school, Queen of the Rosary is called to serve others. We will be looking to provide periodic opportunities like this for our students to do so. Please consider volunteering your 5th through 8th grader for a couple hours of service.
