PLEASE SIGN UP TODAY

MMOG will be hosting families
for a week from July 14 - July 21 

There are many needs to be filled for a HOME Week.  Each host week requires about 50 volunteers and over 300 hours of work.  A HOME week gives volunteers wonderful opportunities to give of your time, talent and/or treasure.  This volunteering opportunity can be a one time event, or you can volunteer everytime we host, it is up to you.   We guarantee you will reap many blessings from participating!

Here’s how you can help!

• SETUP: Saturday, between 11:00 -11:30 am.
  • Set up the classrooms for our guests. This entails unloading, moving and making the roll-away beds, and setting up the rooms for our guests.  Setup also takes care of setting up the dining area in the Youth Center.
• COOKS - Bring food between 5:00 and 5:30PM, set up for dinner by 6PM.
  • Prepare a food at home, and drop off the food you signed up to bring between 5:00 and 5:30 PM in the evening and setup for dinner which is at 6:00PM.  You may stay and dine if you like making sure to add yourself to the headcount for that meal.
• EVENING HOSTS - Will volunteer from 5:45 - 9:00 PM
