Events

. I am reaching out to different community groups to see if their members would be interested in Volunteering here at the Sentara Brock Cancer Center. We are currently recruiting volunteers for Golf Cart Drivers. The drivers will drive our patients that arrive for their appointments from their car to the building so they won’t need to overexert themselves before or after their appointments. The POC is Arkeisha Smith, the Patient Experience Consultant, at the Sentara Brock Cancer Center. Please feel free to go to our website https://sentarabrockcancercenter.com/   for more information. I can be reached at 757-624-0378 or via email at acsmith8@sentara.com

 Volunteers are needed to assist with distributing food during the Basilica of St. Mary Pantry Distribution. This event takes place at Basilica of St. Mary, 1000 Holt Street Norfolk 23504. Volunteers will report onsite and will assist with preparing the area for distribution and assist with the distribution of pre-packaged bags of canned goods, fresh produce, frozen foods, and/or bakery items under the supervision of Ms. Ercelle Drayton, Basilica of St. Mary Agency Director, church staff person and/or a trained Volunteer Team Leader. Volunteers must be minimum 16 years of age for this activity. Please be on time so that the distribution can start at the designated time.  This pantry takes place inside however volunteers are asked to dress comfortably and appropriately.

Commitment for 8 People

 Volunteers will assist with the sorting, packing, inspecting, and/or boxing of food for community distribution.  Volunteers are expected to wear face mask and/or face shield at all times. Volunteers must be able to squat, pivot, bend, and lift at least 35 pounds.  All volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.  

The Foodbank has implemented a number of safety procedures, and are now in a position to increase the number of volunteers in the building:   They have changed the production layout to accommodate social distancing and made hand sanitizing stations more accessible throughout the warehouse. All persons are required to wash and sanitize their hands before working. Work surfaces and common touch points are sanitized throughout the day. They limit the number of volunteers and Foodbank staff in an area. Volunteers will enter through the front lobby of the building however traffic flow and person-to-person interaction will be minimized at much as possible. 

Committed to provide 8 volunteers.

Patrick will be presenting on Virginia Stage Company and their community outreach, education and engagement efforts.

One more project for our community, but this one is on the Bay and beach. Hope for a warm sunny day.  Plan on getting started early to clean up the Park after the Memerial Day festivities.  Meeting at 830AM should have us finished before the heat sets in for the day and then we can enjoy the beach.  As always the Keep Norfolk Beautiful will furnish our supplies for the clean-up.  Always great to visit with friends outdoors on a beautiful day so come out and enjoy a few laughs.  Looking forward to seeing you there.  Plan to meet in the western parking lot (the one with single diagonal parking along Ocean View) and nearest Mason Creek Rd Intersection.
