A. Teenagers may serve alone. Children 12 and under must serve with their parent or an adult.

PARTICIPATION

Q. Is there work for seniors or people with limited mobility? 

A. Yes! In the school classrooms there are plenty of tasks which can be done while sitting down and/or are of lighter duty.  This is a wonderful opportunity to serve.

FUNDRAISING

Q. Is it mandatory for me or my team to fundraise?

A. No, you can still participate in the day without fundraising! The goal of this day is to serve and support teachers and homeowners in need, build solidarity, and come together as one community.

WHAT TO BRING

Q. Are their tools or materials I can provide? 

A. Maybe. Your site’s coordinator/leader will be in touch and let you know if such things are needed.

WHAT TO WEAR

Q. Is there certain attire I need to wear for Jubilee Service Day?

A. All volunteers will be supplied with a FREE Jubilee Service Day t-shirt! We encourage all leaders and participants to wear the t-shirt on August 27. You can also wear comfortable pants or shorts that you won't mind getting dirty in! Closed-toed shoes are also recommended if you are working outdoors or with heavy tools. 

HOMES & SCHOOLS

Q. What locations are the homes which will be served this year?

A. Participating homes will be selected in mid-July and could be anywhere in Bellevue.

Q. How are homeowners selected to receive assistance on Jubilee Service Day?

A. Homeowners apply through a mailer sent by the city of Bellevue. Experienced volunteers begin a process of evaluation to determine a homeowner’s level of need.  We meet homeowners and get to know their stories. Homes are then sorted based on the level of need, and we serve as many as possible. The aim is to help people who cannot otherwise do the work themselves, physically or financially.
