Opportunities From: Serve Village

SERVE Village is partnering with Hero Hut as they host their hospitality event at the Carmel Marathon. Hero Hut exists so every American Veteran can feel a sense of connectedness, support and hope after service.

There are estimated to be over 6,000 runners at the 16th Carmel Marathon this year. It is the second largest marathon in Indiana and a top qualifying event for the Boston Marathon. Please join us on Sunday, May 31st as we provide 2000+ meals and Veteran resources/activation space.

2 shifts: 7-10am and 9:30am-1pm

Each shift will need:

*5 cooks - we'll be making pancakes on griddles and sausage

*20 General volunteers to help as needed with the event, directing people, cleaning up tables, being a "gopher" for things on site, etc. 

Volunteers will meet at the Hero Hut - breakfast tent - video link attached to the area.  We will begin cooking around 7:15a. If anyone is able to come around 6:30, a few extra hands to prep are appreciated.
