Day of Service has been a ComNet tradition since 2017 when our community joined together to support recovery efforts in Miami Beach in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Since then, ComNet attendees have given their time and generosity to give back to our local host communities - and we’re excited to continue this legacy in Atlanta this year!
In addition to doing good, you’ll also gain new connections and get to know more about the Atlanta community in advance of ComNet’s official kickoff. We've partnered with two great organizations, and both opportunities are now full and registration has closed.
PLEASE NOTE:
All Day of Service options will be on Wednesday, September 20.
Participation is FREE for registered ComNet23 attendees.
You will be responsible for your own transportation to and from your Day of Service opportunity, though ComNetwork will gladly offer recommendations for travel methods and will support connecting you with other attendees to carpool.
You must fill out the liability waiver linked within the registration page prior to the day of service. Delay in completing the waiver may prevent your participation.
*ALL DAY OF SERVICE OPTIONS WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20*
Wednesday, September 20
Time: 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. | Capacity: Full
Description: Help care for the Atlanta BeltLine Arboretum, a dynamic landscape actively being restored to forest and native grassland. Activities include hand-pulling and cutting weeds, mulching, watering, and litter removal – gloves will be provided. Plant care can be physically strenuous - be ready to break a sweat and get dirty, and learn a lot while doing it! *Note: This activity will happen rain or shine.
Description: The Atlanta Community Food Bank’s Community Food Center is a direct distribution food pantry to support local families in food insecure areas. Activities will consist of packaging boxes or bags of produce of non-perishables, and other food items to be distributed to the Stone Mountain community at a later date. Other tasks may include unloading vehicles and unpacking food donations, cleaning, and working in the fridge and freezer to restock items.
