Service Projects
Pop-Up Projects
Our pop-up service projects are free to attend and open to all ages. These family-friendly events last about an hour, making them perfect for busy schedules. Each pop-up moves around town — you’ll find us at local businesses, community centers and nonprofit organizations throughout Abington Township and the surrounding area.
At-Home Projects
We offer monthly at-home service projects for those who prefer to participate on their own schedule. Each month, a simple prompt is shared that can be completed at home—or anywhere else—individually or with family, friends, or coworkers.
Custom Projects
For schools, businesses and community groups, we design custom service projects. Support can range from helping plan the project and create supply lists to full setup and day-of facilitation, ensuring meaningful and well-organized volunteer experiences.
