Volunteer Fair Week at Tobin Afterschool: November 2-6, 2020

This year would have marked our 15th Annual Family Volunteer Fair at Tobin. We typically invite our students and families back to Tobin on the first Saturday in November to participate in a variety of family-friendly community service projects. Speaking from experience, I can say that these are super fun events and each year our efforts offer some wonderful support to organizations, near and far.

COVID-19 will be keeping us from hosting our usual event this year, but we still want to continue our focus on getting children involved in community service at an early age. This year Tobin Afterschool will be taking part in hosting a Tobin Volunteer Fair week doing in-school with our students to support local organizations. In addition, we have taken on the commitment of providingThanksgiving feasts to 10 homeless and transitioning homeless families through Family Promise Metrowest.

Our Volunteer Fair is a Tobin community effort and we are seeking donations of food items for these Thanksgivings Feasts, as well as some supplies for our in-school Volunteer Fair projects. PLEASE consider signing up to donate an item or two off or our Sign Up List and plan to bring it here to Tobin by Tuesday, November 2nd.

Here is an overview of our plans for the week here at Tobin Afterschool. We will do our best to include as many classes as possible in each activity.
