We're Saving a Spot for You

We're very excited by the interest we're seeing in Day of Service so far, but we still have plenty of spots to fill!

We have 63 projects throughout North Hill this year...our biggest Day of Service yet!

We want to blanket North Hill with smiling faces and helping hands. Sign up today for this rewarding day of forming relationships and building hope.

BE THE REASON A RUNNER KEEPS RUNNING

Hydration Station Volunteers Needed at the Akron Marathon

Have you ever attended a marathon? It's a memorable experience watching runners who have trained for countless hours achieve their goals. Some marathoners are running for the first time, and some have run in dozens of races. Some are doing it for personal reasons, and some are running for charity. Regardless of the reason or a runner's experience, it's so inspiring to watch.

In a way, First Serve is like a marathon. We work all year to prepare for the Day of Service, and when the day finally arrives, hundreds of volunteers show up energized and full of positive vibes.

As a Blue Line Charity partner with the Akron Marathon, First Serve is asked to provide 50 volunteers at hydration stations along the race route. New this year, volunteers are able to fundraise to help raise money for Day of Service!

Want to be part of that race-day energy and help First Serve in the process? Sign up to help Saturday, Sept. 26 at the Akron Marathon!

MORE GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Many thanks to former First Serve interns Lillian Hockstra and Liv Campbell for serving over 100 cups of Handel’s ice cream to North Hill middle and high school students attending the “Connect at the Rec” event at Patterson Park Community Center in July.

Here, Liv serves Ward 2 Councilman Phil Lombardo, who came to support the event!

This is just another example of how First Serve welcomes the opportunity to build relationships throughout the whole year!

Thank you to David Swirsky, Executive Director of the North Hill Community Development Corporation (NHCDC) for being our guest speaker at this month’s Lunch & Learn!

This was a great opportunity to get to know David in his new role as Executive Director, and hear about what's happening at the North Hill CDC this year.

Lunch & Learn is a free bi-monthly lunch for all of First Serve’s North Hill Community Partners. The series gives partners a chance to meet and exchange information as a way to collectively support the people of North Hill. Stay tuned for information about our next Lunch & Learn, scheduled for October!
