Tri-County Volunteers

Join us for a fun morning at the United Way's office at CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach. Using such basic supplies as markers, crayons, glue, paper and scissors, we'll decorate literacy kits that'll be distributed free to local pre-K and kindergarten children to encourage their love of reading. All supplies are provided and no special drawing or craft-making skill is needed. Everyone is welcome. Take note that we will not be working with children.

Parking is free in one of the nearby garages. Just bring in your ticket to receive a voucher. Snacks, coffee and water will be provided. The event will begin with a talk about the United Way's local activities.

NOTE - This is a multi-group Meetup.

Though reservations aren't yet open, you're welcome to now let us know if you might be interested.

Volunteers are needed for the Lighthouse for the Blind's Wild for the Holidays event at the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, a joyful celebration to kick off the holiday season for their blind and visually impaired clients of all ages. This is not open to the public.

We'll assist with a variety of tasks that don't require any training, such as setup, guest check-in, serving food, craftmaking, running errands, breakdown and cleanup.

The guests will explore wild Florida through a tactical experience with pelts, tusks and other objects; a scent experience with a variety of seasonal aromas; making take-home bird feeders; special animal presentations and more.

Formed in 1946, the Lighthouse for the Blind is a private nonprofit organization that provides direct education and rehabilitation services to people who are blind or visually impaired in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a private nonprofit rescue and rehabilitation center that promotes environmental conservation.

This is a very preliminary announcement. Though reservations aren't yet open, you're welcome to now let us know if you might be interested.

We'll receive basic instruction before beginning and be well supervised.

This is a multi-group Meetup.
