It’s a fun way to reduce waste, share skills, and build community. You don’t have to be a repair expert to volunteer! Any skills are appreciated—sewing, jewelry repair, arts & crafts, electrical, mechanical, baking treats for volunteers and guests, or simply helping with check-in, setup, event support, and teardown. There’s a role for everyone! If you’d be interested in volunteering, please email Anya at anya.prasad@sfbayarearotary.org for the signup link and details.
