Give 5 Hours per Month to a Cause You Choose!
GIVE 5 is a free and innovative program designed for active retirees who want to connect with, learn about, and help their community.
Matching the unique skills and talents of seniors with non-profit needs, fills a critical void for the agencies serving our community and helps retirees find greater purpose and meaning. It’s a win-win!
For one day per week, over four consecutive weeks, GIVE 5 participants enjoy visits to several of the area’s most interesting nonprofit and public service organizations. They learn about the greatest needs at these agencies and throughout their community. They connect with other active retirees who are community-minded and want to make a positive difference in this area. They share laughs, learning, and friendship.
After completing at least three of the four sessions, participants are asked to consider committing to five hours of volunteer time per month for a cause of their choice.
Participation is 100% free for any resident of Stone or Taney County – thanks to the generosity of several sponsors. Class locations vary between Taney and Stone Counties for the convenience of participants, but any local resident can attend any location and all participating non-profits and public service organizations serving the two-county, Ozark Mountain Country area. Classes are generally held in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Come solo or bring your spouce, neighbor, or friend!
Registration in advance is required to plan for lunch and transportaion needs.
