We welcome volunteers who can complete operations projects, i.e. civic, business and school groups that are able to help us maintain our building and grounds. One-time volunteer opportunities are available as needed. Must be at least 14 years old or older.
St. Joe’s Picnic For the Kids has been going on longer than the Kentucky Derby and is the only fundraiser hosted by the home. Held during the second weekend of August, Picnic brings the community together in an effort to raise needed funding for Kentucky’s most abused and neglected children. Volunteer opportunities include being a Zone Leader, working in raffle or gaming booths, serving beer, as well as assisting guests in the Chicken Dinner area. Typically, volunteers work for four-hour shifts.
Volunteers are also needed to help with set-up of booths, etc. before Picnic, and to help with clean-up and tear-down of booths after Picnic.
This is the perfect time for students to earn service hours or for businesses to complete community service projects. Become a part of picnic history and sign up today!
