Operation Ignite Volunteer Days

The past few weeks have been exciting to see the opportunities that God has opened for Operation Ignite. As a result, we have a large need for volunteer assistance in the upcoming months to prepare for various activities. In order to facilitate a forum to contribute, we decided to conduct a series of evening work nights to find out how to plug in, and join one of several teams to contribute:


Proposed evenings: 7/23, 7/27, 8/6 (6:30PM- 9:30PM)
Location: Smith Home (Roseville)
