Franciscan Day of Caring Information

What to Wear

What to Wear

Volunteers are asked to dress appropriately for the work that they will be performing. Pants, jeans or knee-length shorts and closed-toe, sturdy shoes (such as sneakers) are required.  Hilbert College t-shirts will be provided. 

Schedule During Day of Caring

Schedule During Day of Caring

Hilbert volunteers will meet at 8:50am and enjoy a light breakfast in their group's assigned classroom in Bogel Hall.  (Note: Volunteers traveling to FeedMore will meet at 8am.)  In the classroom, they will get to know their site leader and the other volunteers they will be serving with.  Volunteers will then travel together to their community partners using Hilbert-provided transportation. The volunteers will serve at their community partner site for two to two and a half hours before returning to campus for lunch and reflection.  Please make note of the meeting time and location (as some groups may be meeting earlier than 8:50am) when signing up for your service opportunity.
