Questions?
Can my organization still register?
With 56 organizations registered capacity is met! Be sure to promote a registered organization’s work, recruit new volunteers to assist with their services, and raise money for their efforts through matching funds provided by UWSNM and CFSNM! If your organization is currently wait listed they will be contacted immediately if another organization is unable to attend.
What goes on during Giving Day?
In addition to over 50 organizations present to talk about their activities/volunteer needs and receive community donations, there will be new attractions for families such as a stick horse rodeo and children’s activities coordinated by Boys and Girls Club. All attendees get a punch card and as they visit with booths about potential volunteer opportunities, they earn a free custard cone from Caliche’s. Attendees are also invited to bring canned food items for Casa de Peregrinos this year too.
