Called Rotary "Do Days," the Rotary Club of Cincinnati has collaborated with CincinnatiCares.org, an online volunteer matching service that pairs volunteers with community needs. Projects range from serving meals to stocking shelves, painting fences, planting gardens, stuffing envelopes and organizing archives.
Volunteers can sign up for a project on just one or all three days from Oct. 26-28. The time commitment is low, ranging only from 90 minutes to a few hours.
“So many smaller non-profits struggle to get volunteers,” said Do Days chair Linda Muth. “There are a lot of needs and a lot of people who want to help. Rotary Do Days can connect them.”
Some familiar local faces are getting in on the recruitment campaign via video spots in Cincinnati’s Fountain Square. Local notables include:
